Oh course we can't judge size, and the quiz master didn't tell us how FAR he was from the critter, but it sounds loud and it strikes me as being from a medium to a medium-large bird. The bird is probably singing from a relatively exposed perch, immobile, and doesn't appear to be bothered by a bunch of humanoids carrying on nearby. At secs. 59 and ~ 114 we can hear Red-winged Blackbirds, and between secs. 113-117 I THINK there's a Common Grackle; House Finches and Black-capped Chickadee(s) are intermixed. The bird's song to my ears has a flute-like quality that makes me think Icterid, and I'll change my earlier vote (if I might Quiz Meister) to Bullock's Oriole.

My guess is Red-winged Blackbird. I have an image of that sonogram next to a photo of the bird.

Hey, folks. Less than an hour ago, I smartphone-recorded a beautiful bird song at Waneka Lake, Boulder County. Here's a link to the audio: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/243680291<https://eur05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmacaulaylibrary.org%2Fasset%2F243680291&data=02%7C01%7C%7C29353d4e0d2a405f60fc08d8122f4e40%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637279341663963429&sdata=TTTdUYyM5EjPoNQcNrZSttuHI%2BcCD4WtjDWwF6LTY%2FA%3D&reserved=0> Can anybody guess what it is?
