How To Learn Bird Songs

Sounds of the Scarlet Tanager
Piranga olivacea

Shortcut: A robin with a sore throat; chip-burrr

Song: The male's song is a sequence of buzzy, robinlike phrases: queer, queerit, queereo, queer, given with long pauses between songs. The song is often described as sounding like a robin with a sore throat. At dawn, males sing more continuously, interspersing calls with songs. Females may also sing, particularly while gathering nest material or food—their songs are usually softer and shorter than those of males.

Call: The most commonly heard call sounds like chick-breee or chip-burrr. It is given by both sexes during territorial disputes or in the presence of danger, usually accompanied by drooping wings and flicking tail.
