I used my flux capacitor, and the last 7.994 seconds of the 3rd
recording in your checklist is indeed a perfect match with "song
(eastern) #2_NY" in the Sibley app:

Flip between these two images. Great Scott! It's a perfect match.

Hi Folks,
Yesterday when I was listening to my recordings I was pleasantly
surprised that I got a recording of the "Winzer Wren" singing.
Well apparently what may have happened (strong possibility) is
that I accidentally turned on my phone while live recording the
bird and picked up the recording off the app of a Winter Wren
singing, instead of the actual bird singing. The bird did sing
while I was there but I may have accidentally recorded my own
phone (until Amazon finally delivers the flux capacitors for my
DeLorean I'm never going to find out). The other two recordings of
the bird calling are definitely live recordings of only the bird
and nothing coming off my phone. I checked on this topic last
night with a couple of people who put the work into helping me
figure this out. Worst comes to worst I may go back tomorrow or
Monday and try to get more recordings of the bird with my shotgun
microphone and make sure that the same mistake doesn't happen
again. I've never actually done this before. I have upon occasion
picked up a recording off my phone knowing that I was playing it
and then edited that out but I've never accidentally recorded my
phone not knowing that that's what was on my recording.
