Songs

Displaying males sing a somber, trilling whistle that first ascends in pitch, then descends in a pure tone, often called a “wolf whistle” but having an ethereal musical quality. Males often sing at night, and females also sing on occasion.

Calls

The most commonly heard calls are rapid, fluttering series of three or more tu or pip notes, all on the same pitch, given by birds in flight, in contact, or under stress.
