Songs

Flycatcher songs are often the key to their identity and this one sings a hoarse fitz-bew from high perches in their territory. They also sing a burry zip, which sounds similar to someone quickly zipping up a jacket. Each song lasts for less than 1 second, but they repeat each one over and over. Males do most of the singing, but females also sing on occasion, though their songs tend to be quieter.
