Songs

Males sing a series of slurred whistles separated by short pauses that can sound quite similar to (but shorter than) American Robin, typically lasting 2–4 seconds.

Calls

Both males and females give a dry, clicking pit-ti-tuck, adding extra syllables if agitated. During territorial disputes they may give a whining chew.
