Songs

Male Warbling Vireos sing a rapid, undulating, highly variable song with a rich, burbling quality lasting about 3 seconds. The song usually concludes with an accented note pitched higher than the preceding melody. Males sometimes sing from the nest.

Calls

Warbling Vireos use many calls, particularly a raspy, descending scold call as well as a low spitting note. Female have a courtship call that they sometimes give in a loose duet with the male.
