Voice: The dawn song of Baird's flycatcher has been described as "wrrr-yeeít...wrrr-yeeít..." repeated several times and sometimes "followed by an ascending jumbled phrase". Another description is "a loud, accelerating series of burry notes, until a final rising chatter" rewTCHI! rewTCHI! reTCHIrewTCHIrewTCHI-tip'ti'chip-awee?". Its call is a "single rewTCHI!".
