Stokes: Song sounds like "witchity-witchity-witchity"
or "your money, your money, your money." Call is sharp "tchat,
tchat".
Robbins: Song "wichity, or wichy" is repeated
several times. 4-6/min.
Peterson: Song, very distinctive, a rapid,
well-enunciated "witchity-witchity-whitchity-witchity-which" or
"witchity-ta-witchity-ta-withcity-ta-witch" Note: a
husky "tchep", distinctive.
Bittner: "witchi-tee which, witchi-tee
which, witchi-tee which, witchee which." Generally ends on an
