Yep, that's a Western Grebe! Might want to put that on eBird. Looks like most sightings of them were from 2015 at that lake.

Another for Cooper's. The dark gray on the nape is not extensive enough for a Sharpie and it's a very bulky Accipiter, as Sean mentioned.
Okey dokey, coolio. I looked at it wrong

Dark nape - Sharp-shinned. Do you have any more photos?

I like Common or hybrid. We had a Barrow's this summer just south in Stanley, but this bird has a significantly larger bill with minimal orange and head shape that fits better for Common.

Aw man that means I have to post something.

Tufted Titmouse?
edit: changed my mind. Lawrence's Goldfinch?
-
That's actually a white-eye, a bird from Asia. I don't remember if those are actual vagrants in California or typically escapees, or what.

I’ve heard them sing this slow. I’m fine with BHGR.
It's not just that it's slow - see my above post. The actual phrases are wrong IMO.

I'm pretty confused by this. Obviously there are chats in the second recording, but you're saying the call in question is also a chat? Here's the House Wren call I'm referring to: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/56882
The first recording sounds far too sickly and weak for Summer Tanager IMO, but hey I could be wrong.
The quality is completely wrong for HOWR. There's far too few notes and it's very clear and bright sounding. Here's the difference in spectrograms:
One major thing that makes me lean SUTA is the fact that every phrase is about the same length. BHGR tend to have wide variety between phrases, giving it the feel that it's alternating between short and long phrases. I'm not getting a "sickly" vibe - you might be getting that in part just because it's in the background of a fuzzy recording.

1. I'm liking Summer Tanager.. The phrases are too separated for BHGR, and also you can hear some high pitched phrases as well... but the individual phrases fit better for Tanager than Robin.
2. Yellow-breasted Chats. They make the chatter and churr sound
3. Another Chat

One guess at a time people ?. No on all. @Seanbirdshas had the closest guess.
