I too would lean toward Song Sparrow, and I agree with Martyn's Wilson's
Warbler. Aside from the Kingfisher, I can hear Pacific-slope Flycatcher
several times and also a jay...I would have called it a gray jay, but am not
sure what other possibilities you have there. One of the louder and more
frequent 'rising' songs is one I'm not familiar with...may be what Martyn is
calling a yellow-rumped warbler but I have no experience with dialects from
the coastal pacific northwest.
