Next batch:

Recording 1, 1/1: Sayil archeological site, Yucatán, 100 km south of Mérida.

Recordings 2 and 3, 1/1: Sayil archeological site, Yucatán, 100 km south of Mérida.

Recording 4, 1/1: Myiarchus - Yucatan Flycatcher? Maybe Great Crested? Sounded quite different than Brown-cresteds heard frequently in the area. Doesn't match Dusky-capped. Sayil archeological site, Yucatán, 100 km south of Mérida.

Recording 5, 1/1: Almost like a Northern Parula...? But not? Sayil archeological site, Yucatán, 100 km south of Mérida.

Recording 6, 1/3: Cobá archeological site, Quintana Roo, 50 km NW of Tulum.

Recording 7, 1/3: Least Flycatcher? Cobá archeological site, Quintana Roo, 50 km NW of Tulum.

Recording 8, 1/3: Cobá archeological site, Quintana Roo, 50 km NW of Tulum.

Recording 9, 1/7: A few birds in this one. On Isla Cozumel.

Hey Alex,

for the first batch:

Rec 1 is Western Tanager

Rec 2 is likely House Wren

Rec 3 is Spot-breasted Wren

Rec 4 is White-winged Dove.

For the second batch:

Rec 1 maybe Hooded Warbler with faint Tropical Pewee in background. Not sure about the warbler.

Rec 2 Magnolia Warbler - their weird winter call.

Rec 3 Magnolia Warbler again

Rec 4 Tricky one. I think a faint Great Crested Flycatcher, but some Yucatan Flycatcher calls are similar.

Rec 5 Olivaceous Woodcreeper

Rec 6 Rufous-browed Peppershrike

Rec 7 abrupt call of Summer Tanager

Rec 8 not sure, barely discernible to my mid-50s ears.

Rec 9 Rufous-browed Peppershrike with White-winged Dove, Tropical Mockingbird, faint Rose-throated Tanager (perhaps from TRMO?), and cooing from perhaps Rock Pigeon??

Thanks Chris! As for the Myiarchus sp. - Great Crested/Yucatan mystery - would these photos help at all? These are of the same bird recorded in Round 2, Rec #4.

Hi Alex,

For sure they help. That's a Yucatan Flycatcher! You can see a daintier bill, paler face, and duller edgings to the visible wing coverts, etc!
