Sounds of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Pheucticus ludovicianus

Shortcut: Similar to American Robin's but hurried in comparison and perhaps more musical in quality

Song: Song is a sequence of rich, slurred whistles, similar to American Robin's but hurried in comparison and perhaps more musical in quality. Females may give shortened versions of songs near the nest.

Call: The most familiar call is a brief metallic chink. Nasal weep and eeee calls are given by birds in social situations. Fledglings give distinctive, vibrant begging calls: teee-yoooo.
