Recording Engineer For

  1. Po-ta-to-chip: a contact call given both in flight and when stationary 0:11 [anonymous] (2013)
  2. Song: a wavering series of melodic notes (variation in song is normal with this species) 0:15 [anonymous] (2013)
  3. Aggressive chatter: used when combating others of its kind 0:05 [anonymous] (2013)
  4. Alarm: a deer snort sequence, then snorting while bounding away 0:24 [anonymous] (2013)
  5. Aerial threat: a repeated low, dull cluck-cluck-cluck warns of aerial predators and threats 1:31 [anonymous] (2013)
  6. Alarm: a small flock of chickadees vocalizes in the presence of a sharp-shinned hawk. Listen for all the high-pitched see and rapid fire zap notes mixed in with chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee (up to 9 dees in this example) alarm calls 0:30 [anonymous] (2013)
  7. Seep calls: high, clear contact calls used in families and flocks 0:11 [anonymous] (2013)
  8. Contact: loud chack! calls used within the flock 0:10 [anonymous] (2013)
  9. Chup-chup and vreee: the functions of these calls are not entirely known, but the chup-chup is often an alarm used in hostile situations, while vreee may be both an alarm and a contact call 0:14 [anonymous] (2013)
  10. Song: this easily recognized whistle song says “Oh-sweet-Canada-Canada-Canada” 0:12 [anonymous] (2013)
  11. Female calls and song: chack calls and high-pitched chatter song of females 0:13 [anonymous] (2013)
  12. Chip-pee: a begging call given by persistent fledglings as they follow parents around 0:13 [anonymous] (2013)
  13. Alarm: with a Coopers Hawk nearby, a purple finch belts out a very strange alarm—a vireo song 0:35 [anonymous] (2013)
