Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
The principal vocalization of Azure-crowned Hummingbird is described as "a low, fairly hard, buzzy dzzzrt in flight and perched, [which may be] repeated steadily from perch" (Howell and Webb 1995). Also has a "fairly mellow, strong chipping, at times run into a trill or rattle" (Howell and Webb 1995). The vocalizations of the isolated subspecies chlorostephana apparently have not been described (Howell and Webb 1995).
Additional audio recordings of vocalizations of Azure-crowned Hummingbird can be heard at Macaulay Library, at xeno-canto, and at Internet Bird Collection.
Nonvocal Sounds
None reported, other than the usual "whirring" or "humming" sound of the wings in flight, audible (as in most hummingbirds) at close range.
