Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
Development
Information is needed.
Vocal Array
Calls
Rather silent. Calls when flushed or in flight , which can be described as a vibrating drawn-out whistle “prrrrruu,” on same pitch or slightly falling, and a rhythmic “chup!-prri-rri-rruu” with similar tonal quality. In groups, usually several flying birds call simultaneously.
In alarm, it also gives an emphatic “chee!-chu-chup,” as well as a single “chup.”
Geographic Variation
Information is needed.
Phenology
Based on the available Macaulay Library recordings (mainly alarm calls), it vocalizes year-round. However, it may also give as of yet unrecorded courtship calls that are produced only before breeding. Further information is needed.
Daily Pattern of Vocalizing
Information is needed.
Places of Vocalizing
Based on the comments in media from Macaulay Library, it can vocalize either from the ground or while flying.
Sex Differences
Information is needed.

Social Context and Presumed Functions of Vocalizations
Most of the recorded vocalizations on the Macaulay Library are alarm calls. When individuals take flight, they often emit a tremulous high-pitched whistle of decreasing intensity that they repeat in the air in series of three or four (102, 103, 104, 105). This vocalization is frequent in migratory flocks, which would only move during the day (102 in 78).
Nonvocal Sounds
Not likely to produce non-vocal sounds.
