Recordings 2 & 3 both sound like Crossbills. Sorry, can't make out 1 and 4.

PS welcome to Birdforum!

Recording 1 is a Blue Jay, and Recording 4 is too faint to be confident about, although I’m getting either Horned Lark or Tree Sparrow vibes. I agree that Recordings 2 and 3 are Red Crossbill.

Thanks! Hadn't associated the first call with a Blue Jay before, but after your post I noticed it again this week. Ran into a couple sounds today that I wasn't sure about:

Wooded forest near a reservoir, noticed finch silhouettes in a tree around the time of the first call (but they could've been goldfinches, which I heard after this).

The first one, if it was over here, my immediate reaction would be [Eurasian] Nuthatch. So check out White-breasted Nuthatch, and Red-breasted too, to see if either of them is your bird.

No idea with the 2nd!

Both recordings are of Carolina wrens, giving shorter calls than the usual repeated "tea-kettle" song.

I agree with birdmeister on these last two calls.
