Songs

A rapid, undulating, highly variable song with a rich, burbling quality lasting about 3 seconds. The song—sometimes given from the nest—usually concludes with an accented note pitched higher than the preceding melody. Song typically given by males, but females are known to sing. Eastern Warbling Vireo song is typically lower pitched and more “sing-songy” than Western Warbling Vireo song, which sounds a bit more jumbled. Western song contains higher notes at various point throughout the song, while the highest note in Eastern song is usually an accented ending note.

Calls

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