Observation details
Heard only. Summary: A long complex song consisting of multiple consecutive series and trills of semi musical down slurred chip- and peep-like notes of varying pitch. Song Breakdown: -The song mostly consists of a simple note repeated continuously at a moderate rate (slow enough to count) but there are also some trills present (notes too fast to count). -There are several distinct changes in the notes over the course of the song, breaking it up into different series. -The notes within a given series, while distinct from that of the adjacent series, are often unsteady, changing gradually in both pitch and quality. -There are no significant pauses between series and the transition between series often includes gradational notes. -Series of a given note type are sometimes repeated within the song. -Series are constructed from the following note types: 1. Medium frequency downslurred CHIP-like notes (CHIP, KIP). A CHIP is defined by Pieplow (2017) as an "extremely brief, sharply downslurred note" with a pitch that is medium to high: CHIP (Pieplow, 2017) 2. Some CHIP-like notes are less sharply downslurred and therefore more musical, approaching a whistle (TEW, PEW): TEW (Pieplow, 2017) 3. Higher frequency PEEP-like notes (PEEP, CHEEP, CHIRP): PEEP (Pieplow, 2017)
