Juvenile calls IV : warblers

Juvenile Yellow Warblers give rapid high chip calls (July, PA).


Here the chips in the first 6 seconds of the cut are adult chips, followed by two flight calls and then by the calls of fledglings (Dark-eyed Junco singing, July, ME).









Prairie Warbler is similar but a little harder (June, PA).




A juvenile Pine Warbler in the New Jersey pine barrens; the calls have a prominent trill component (Jun).










Calls increase in rapidity to the point of being fed at 7 seconds (Aug, NJ).











Yellow-rumped Warbler juveniles sound similar but the call is lower and more staccato (July, ME).





Black-throated Blue Warbler fledgling calls are higher, and if this recording is typical, more rapid; note trills at the time of feeding (July, ME).










Juvenile Black-throated Green Warbler begging calls are metallic (July, ME).

(Sep, ME).










These birds called in triplets, the third call being similar to Black-and-white Warbler, the next species (July, ME).



Juvenile Black-and-white Warblers are similar but have a harder typewriter-like call (Worm-eating Warbler chipping, June, NJ).

(these birds were not visualized, July, ME)





Fledgling Worm-eating Warblers are similar to Black-and-white but are higher (June, NJ).






















The calls of fledgling American Redstarts are soft and high; juvenile begging and being fed by adult female (June, NJ).











Canada Warbler fledgling chips are similar (lower chips by adult in background, July, ME).











Juvenile Ovenbirds have an extremely high-pitched soft call, often a twittering (June, NJ).













A different looking call by a newly fledged Ovenbird running along the ground, but still very high pitched (June, PA).



Fledgling Blackburnian Warblers have a rapid, high, buzzy call (July, ME).










Black-throated Green and Blackburnian Warbler fledglings together for comparison (July, ME).


Magnolia Warbler is similar to Blackburnian; these fledglings called mostly in triplets, the last note being lower. The calls are almost identical to those of fledgling Northern Cardinals (July, ME).











Juvenile Chestnut-sided Warblers utter a soft chip that is used as a location call, and have a slurred begging call when a parent approaches (July, ME).
