I enjoyed those despite the human sounds.
#1, I think I hear an Ash-throated Flycatcher in the background. Must
have been happy eating all those insects buzzing around. There's a
Chickadee (not sure which ones are there). The chatter sounds like a
rodent to me.
#2, my favorite owl's bark and call, Western Screech. Sounds like some
sort of katydid clicking.
