The Magnolia belongs among the full-voiced Warblers, and is a versatile singer, having at least two main songs, both subject to much and notable variation. The typical form of the commoner song is peculiar and easily remembered: _Weeto wecto weétee-eet_,--or _Witchi, witchi, witchi tit_,--the first four notes deliberate and even and comparatively low in tone, the last three hurried and higher pitched, with decided emphasis on the antepenult _weet_ or _witch_. The other song has the same general character, and begins with nearly the same notes, but instead of ending with the sprightly, high-pitched _wéetee-eet'_, it falls off in a single perfunctory-sounding though emphatic note, of _lower_ tone than the rest. In syllables it is like _Witti witti wét'_,--_weetee weetee wúr_. He proceeds to mention some variations: One such variant I have fixed in my own recollection by the syllables _Ter-whiz wee-it_; and another, almost unrecognizable, by the syllables _Weé-yer weé-yer wee-yer_. Still another beginning like _Weechi wéech_, ended with a hurried confusion of small notes, some low, some high. But throughout these and all the many other surprising variations I have heard about Monadnock, the characteristic tone-quality was preserved unchanged, and so were certain minor tricks, scarcely describable, of emphasis and phrasing. The tone is much like the Yellow Warbler's and also the Chestnut-side's, though distinctly different from either. In loudness it averages lower than the Yellow's and about equal to the Chestnut-side's. Then he mentions a peculiar call note, _tlep, tlep_, a lisping note with a slight metallic ring, that reminded him of the siskin or of Henslow's sparrow. The following remarkable list of seven distinct songs recognized by Stewart Edward White (1893) is included because it represents either some very unusual variations or very keen observation: 1. Three notes followed by one lower: _che-weech che-weech che-ó_. 2. Three sharp clear whistles with a strong _r_ sound, then a warble of three notes, the middle the highest, the latter clear and decisive: _pra pra pra r-é-oo_. 3. Two quick sharp notes followed by a warble of three notes, the middle the highest: the warble is soft and slurred: _prút pút purreao_. 4. A soft falsetto warble, different in tone from any other bird song: _purra-[)e]-whuy-a_. 5. Of the same falsetto tone uttered rapidly: _prut-ut-ut-ut-ut_. 5. A harsh note like, in miniature, the cry of a Jay: _d kay kay kay_. 7. A harsh _k-e-e-e-dl_, the last syllable higher by a shade, quick, and subordinated to the first part. The alarm note is a sharp _zeek_. Mr. Brewster (1877) has written his impression of the song in words as, "_she knew she was right; yes, she knew she was right_." Elsewhere, he writes it: "_Pretty, pretty Rachel_." The latter version seems to suggest the rhythmic swing of the song very well.
