Help me with some bird calls

[Colton V]

Heard these at Crane Prairie Reservoir near La Pine, Oregon. Second one is hard to hear, it is a distant single chirp that occurs three times.

Deschutes National Forest 6.m4a Deschutes National Forest 10.m4a

I've never heard that first call before, sounds like an icterid of some sort, maybe Bullock's Oriole?, or it could be a weird Blackbird. Theres Red Crossbill in the background of the recording

I went through all of the blackbirds that could live in the area, none of them seem to sound right.

The first bird (Deschutes National Forest 6) reminds me of a Myiarchus flycatcher.

That’s a good idea. I’ve never heard an ash-throated that’s sounded exactly like that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is one.

I don't think it's a flycatcher. None of the calls on the Merlin Bird ID app sound like mine. However, if you can find a call that sounds similar to mine that would be great.

I think it’s a red crossbill.

My first impression of the first recording was a mimick, like a Catbird

I see you got your answer on another forum.  It's good to know RECRs can sound like that!  We hardly ever get them here, but I saw one flying over my house just a few days ago.

I never new that the loud one was their  song. I guess it makes since, there are some in the background doing their classic kip kip calls the whole time.

I look at that forum about twice a year.  There hardly seems to be any US / NA activity, and  I don't like having the individual forums for states / provinces / territories.

Yeah, I don’t use it often. Most of the birds on there I know nothing about. But I use it every once in a while when no one here has an answer to my question.
