Thank you Kevin,

I have the Trumpeter Swan in clip b, but I'm particularly curious about
the more distant call that follows it a few seconds later, slightly to

Oops. In my haste I failed to indicate that these clips were recorded
last May at the shoreline of a remote undeveloped lake in North Central
Minnesota.

I'll chase down the raptor possibility at the beginning of clip a.
Or... could it be a Northern Oriole, perhaps?
