Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Introduction
The vocalizations of the Siberian Nuthatch are, apparently, rather dissimilar to those of the Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) (6).
Vocalizations
Though available recordings of Siberian Nuthatch calls are limited, the calls of adults could be described as a plaintive yuuuuu that tapers off in volume and frequency towards the end (xeno-canto XC675326), a whistled taweeeo that is roughly 3 kHz at beginning and end at 3.5 kHz in the middle (xento-canto XC676024), and a raspy alarm twitter (xento-canto XC675325).
