Personally, I use a very long trill on the same whistle as a cue to come in. It would be better communication for me to use a different whistle with a completely separate tone, but I am the sort of dumb bastard that would always be getting them mixed up. I just haven't found another audible signal I like for a CR that can be heard for a long ways off, and having a CR that can be heard for a ways lets me tell my hawk "I like what you just did" while in the field.

When working up close, a soft click of the tongue or a whistle made with your lips works very well too.
