Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
There is little information on the vocal repertoire of Rufous-breasted Sabrewing, and the song apparently is undescribed. Recent recordings of a vocalization identified as the song suggest that this song is little more than a series of chip notes.
For a representative audio recording with sonogram, see audio
A call, given while foraging, is described as "a weak, nasal sqeeek with [a] strained quality" (Hilty 2003).
There are few available recordings of vocalizations of Rufous-breasted Sabrewing; additional recordings can be heard at Macaulay Library, at xeno-canto, and at Internet Bird Collection.
Nonvocal Sounds
None reported; presumably the wings produce a "whirring" sound, audible (as in most hummingbirds) at close range.
