Certainly a red-winged blackbird call note, also warbling vireo in the
background. My guess on the other single note is towhee rather than
Swainson's thrush (though I thought I heard one faint SWTH note later in th=
e
cut). The warbler I'm not sure about...it could be a MacGillivray's as Kevi=
n
suggested. My first impression was Yellow-rumped Warbler...but both species
sing with a lot of variety and I don't know the Oregon dialects. Finally,
there is also what I initially called a song sparrow singing several
times...but then I remembered you probably have Bewick's Wren down there. M=
y
experience with that species is minimal, so I'll leave that one to those
with more local knowledge...I seem to recall that BEWR/SOSP comparison bein=

discussed here before!
