1. I think so
2. Looks good for Amazonian Antshrike.
3. Not positive, but I think it's a Black-crowned Tityra.

Starting later this year, this bird will really count for your life list!
Are Cordilleran and Pac-slope officially going to be lumped?

Awesome! Keep an eye out for White-rumped! I had a pretty good mixed flock in western VT a few days ago with a couple Dunlin too, among other things. If there’s that many Leasts there’s bound to be more than just Leasts!
I've definitely been looking, but I don't have much hope. One of my county's top birders went with a scope to the place where I've been seeing them and only saw Leasts. Even Leasts are considered exciting for my county though!

Isn’t a hood the foreheadish, top and back section of the head? Or am I just trippin right now?
Yeah, I think so. I still think it's the angle that's making the head look more hooded than it is.

From what I can see Orange-backed doesn’t have a black hood.
It has a black area over its face and front. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/121043651

Campo Troupial?
Way out of range.

Pretty sure the black is just the hood typical for Orange-backed, it's the angle that's making it seem fully black. Other characteristics seem better for Orange-backed. Any other shots?

Not the worst for the middle of the day. Finally saw a Wood Thrush, although I've heard them many times. It was still only a glimpse pretty far away in the understory, and when it perched it was mostly hidden by a clump of leaves. Always wonderful to hear them though. Got a few more FOYs.

I can’t find a bird in the video.
There's something flying onto the tree a few seconds in, but it's hard to see and low resolution. This is far from definitive proof.

I agree with female/immature Common Yellowthroat.

One of my all time bests, it’s quite crisp(at least for my photos). The knee tripod really does work! Thoughts appreciated https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/573690241?
Really nice, awesome for your equipment! I love how you captured it eating a worm, and the setting is very cool.

Tips for learning bird vocalizations
in General Birding Topics
Posted
Yeah, mostly experience, but it helps to look up the calls on the Audubon field guide, which I think has the best collection of the different bird calls and sounds of particular species. I'm personally not a fan of the eBird sound quiz if you're starting to learn bird calls because the audio is often very poor quality or even misidentified since they just pull the lowest rated sound recordings from Macaulay.
