Andrew,
The first call is a Virginia Rail. Check out Lang Elliott's Stokes Eastern
Birds CD for I nice example of this call, which is apparently given by females.
I can't quite make out the second call on your recording, but it doesn't sound
like a cuckoo to me.
best,
Michael O'Brien

The first one is the one that I thought sounded Willow Flycatcher=ish.
Also, not sure about the second one - kind of sounds like a Cuckoo -
but that would also be pretty early.
Any better ID's?
Sincerely,
Andrew
