Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
The most frequently heard vocalization of the Spotted Tanager is a high-pitched and rather dry chip, which often is repeated rapidly in a staccato manner before shifting into "an evenly pitched, chipping trill" (Isler and Isler 1987). This trill sometimes has a soft whistled quality in recordings from Bolivia (Isler andd Isler 1987). This trill, which lasts for 1-2 s, may trail off slightly at the end (Isler and Isler 1987).
Additional recordings of the vocalizations of Spotted Tanager can be heard at Macaulay Library and at xeno-canto.
