Hi Jerald, I think some of the quality of the calls is lost when I convert your mp3s to wav files. I had a bit of trouble reading the spectrograms. There were a number of birds in those recordings. I could discern Swainson’s Thrush, Hermit Thrush, one Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and perhaps one or two Veery.

They sound rather thrush-like, but don't match any of the thrushes. I'm guessing they're Rose-breasted Grosbeak, but I would appreciate confirmation.

This really helps a lot when trying to actually listen to the recordings, as it can end up sounding like just a wall of sound otherwise, with the target voc impossible to pick out of the noise without some introduction first. Boosting the gain (normalizing) the clip would also be helpful in many cases. Both of these are also very important for prepping recordings for upload to eBird, if that is something anyone on here is interested in doing. Thanks!

If anyone could help in their identification, I would be very appreciative.
