American Yellow Warbler

American Yellow Warbler

Male Yellow Warblers sing from perches in willows, streamside bushes and roadside hedges. This is one of the most frequently heard warbler songs. It consists of a series of soft whistles, which English speakers translate into an easy-to-remember phrase: “sweet sweet sweet I'm so sweet”. The contact call is a high-pitched “chip”.

Caribbean Elaenia

Gray Kingbird

The Gray Flycatcher emits a strident song, made up of hoarse, rolled notes that can be transcribed as “Pipirit”, “pi-ti-reee-pi-ti-rro” or “pitch-chir'r'r're”, earning it the name Pipirite in Creole, particularly in Martinique and Guadeloupe. It is one of the first birds to sing in the morning, perched in full view at the top of a tree, on a pole or an electric wire, so much so that in the West Indies the expression “au Pipirit chantant” describes a very early morning activity.
