- A Baltimore Oriole floats rich, liquid whistled phrases from the background, warm and flute-like through the leaves.
- A Red-bellied Woodpecker cuts in with a rolling, burry churr, like a tiny motor briefly catching, just under the oriole.
- A Blue-winged Warbler cuts through with its buzzy bee-buzz, a thin inhaled note then a lower, rougher buzz, sounding more insect than bird.
- A Common Yellowthroat takes the foreground with a rolling, bouncing witchity-witchity, the closest, loudest voice.
- A Baltimore Oriole's rich, liquid caroling rolls through the foreground while a high, buzzy Blue-winged Warbler bee-buzz cuts in over the top, the two voices briefly stacking.
