Songs

Males in aerial display deliver a song comprised of staccato, sputtering rising whistles.

Calls

Flying Whimbrels often give a series of mellow, piping whistles, all on the same pitch, very similar to other curlews, and a soft, whistled cur-lee. Birds in courtship or conflict (or simply in contact) on the breeding grounds also deliver a more whining or screaming whistle, wee-ee. Many other low whistles and trills are also heard on the breeding grounds.
