These were all recorded around 10-12th May 2022 along the Mexican-Guatemalan border in an area known as Cinqos Lagos, mostly around Lake Tziscao which contains a mixture of mixed coniferous/deciduous forest, some human habitation (locals in cabins that host tourists such as myself), dirt paths/roads and a very nice lake with undergrowth and reeds along the edge. Most of these birds were recorded coming from the forest during evening or dawn, apart from Bird 10 (which came more from the lake and at night) and Bird 13 (which came from undergrowth near a dirt road during dawn).
Recording Name "Bird 1": The song of this bird plays twice in an identical fashion. The first instance occurs 3.97 seconds in and the second 8.70 seconds in. It is crisp and there are crickets in the background. Merlin suggested this was a Buff-Headed Saltator.
Recording Name "Bird 2": The call in question is repeated twice in this recording. The first instance of the call occurs 1.95 seconds in, and the second instance 12.51 seconds in. It is a series of low whistles, possibly belonging to a Pauraque. I apologise for walking whilst recording, very sloppy of me. (At 16.34 seconds there is also another bird's call, you are welcome to provide any suggestions as to what this other bird is.)
Recording Name "Bird 3": The call in question is repeated four times in this recording. The first instance of the call occurs 1.22 seconds in. It is a low, single whistle. Based on previous experience, I thought it could be a trogon. It repeats at 15.95, 20.83 and 24.90 seconds (unfortunately at 20.83 another bird sings just then, you are welcome to provide any suggestions as to what this other bird is). There is nothing to hear after that, apart from myself trying to imitate the call at 41.50 seconds.
Recording Name "Bird 4": The call in question only occurs once, 6.40 seconds in. It is a squeaky "gnaw" singular call. There is nothing else in the recording after that pertaining to this bird or anything else of interest.
Recording Name "Bird 5": The song in question occurs twice. It is a melodic, throaty song. The first instance of the call occurs 1.22 seconds in, coming just at the end of (what I believe is) a House Wren's song. The second instance is clearer and occurs 8.70 seconds in.
Recording Name "Bird 6 Recording 1": The call in question occurs twice. It is a lightly harsh, slightly grating "gnaw" and a singular call. The first instance occurs 2.50 seconds in. The second instance occurs 7.45 seconds in. It is difficult to hear possibly due to the crickets. An American Robin sings towards the end of the recording.
Recording Name "Bird 6 Recording 2": This is supplementary to the recording above, containing the same calls as above at 8.20, 11.80 and 16.50 seconds in. However, it also contains over birds singing so it's more difficult to discern but still may be helpful.
Recording Name "Bird 7": The call in question occurs twice. It is a series of alarm like notes, each note rising in pitch towards the end. The first instance occurs at 2.30 seconds in and the second instance (for longer) 10.90 seconds in.
Recording Name "Bird 8": The song in question occurs four times. These are 0.40, 3.10, 5.20 and 10.70 seconds in. It is a high pitched, very short descending song/call. Please note that this recording is relatively poor due to the loud regular cricket, background human noise and poor handling practises.
Recording Name "Bird 9 and 10": Bird 9 is in the foreground, whilst Bird 10 is more in the distance but can be heard due to the loud nature of the call. Bird 9 is probably a Kingbird of some kind, most likely Tropical. The song is the characteristic trill that is heard throughout the recording, starting at 4.00. Bird 10 is of much greater interest. Bird 10's call is a semi-drawn out "Poo-wee!" that sounds wader-esque or owl-esque. The call occurs first at 10.95 seconds in, and occurs again at 14.60, 25.70, 32.10, 38.20, 43.60 seconds in. I apologise in advance for the annoying sounds that occur due to me moving the microphone around.
Recording Name "Bird 11": The noise of the crickets is deafening, and there are also deeper, rougher Plain Chachalaca calls in the background (please ignore these). The call in question is a series of middle-pitched whibbling calls which have the same dee-dee-dum rhythm to them, and is sung twice in the recording. The first series occurs 1.75 seconds in, and occurs again at 14.40 seconds in. It could very well be that these are also Plain Chachalaca calls that due to the distance and limitations in the recording equipment, sound more high pitched and less raspy than a usual Plain Chachalaca call (especially if you see Recording "Bird 12")
Recording Name "Bird 12": The noise of the crickets is there but less deafening, although the Plain Chachalaca calls in the background are more prevalent especially towards the end of the recording (please ignore these). The song in question is a nice, crisp descending song that sounds fluty. The song is sung twice and is clearly in the background. The first instance occurs 0.70 seconds in, and the second 11.40 seconds in.
Recording Name "Bird 13": The song in question is a warbler-like trill-song that is repeated twice in this recording. There is a series of Golden-Fronted Woodpecker calls in the background before the first song in question is sung, as well as some background noise from other birds and human activity although this is relatively quiet. The first instance of the song in question occurs at 9.40 seconds in and the second instance at 19.70 seconds in.
Recording Name "Bird 14": The call in question is a noticeable "(too)-wheet" call that is repeated four times in the recording. It is a little bit distant as you can tell. The first instance of the song in question occurs at 0.80 seconds in, followed by 3.00, 4.80 and 9.40 seconds in.
Thank you so much in advance for any suggestions at all, even if it's for one of these recordings.
