Abstract
⺠We investigated song plasticity in wild black-capped chickadees. ⺠We presented males with tones that either overlapped their songs (masking) or were outside their singing range (control). ⺠Chickadees shifted their song frequencies more quickly in the presence of masking tones as compared to control tones. ⺠Chickadees can modulate their singing behaviour in response to the sound environment.
