An analysis by a trained human ear rather than the birdNET app anyalzer did not catch a Marbled Murrelet in the sound recording I had from Matia Island. 🙁
Was worth a shot.

Any chance you can email the recording? I'd like to listen to the Mamu.

Recently someone recommended a birding by sound app for Android. It's called BirdNET, only for Android and still in a beta form.
I first tried this out on a visit to Matia Island. My first bird I recorded turned out to be a Red Crossbill. I actually got to see one on my next trip.
So this second trip to Matia, July 12th, spending 3+ hours waking a one-mile loop I recorded another song I did not recognize. I recorded this sound from two different close locations below some old growth on the island. Once I came back home to wifi/cell service I had the app analyze the recorded sounds. Both times it came up as Marbled Murrelet. It's a poor recording, at least to my ears. Having seen Marbled Murrelets about 10 miles from Matia and twice last year just about 3.5 miles away off Orcas Island , the more central northern area of the island and my understanding of Matia having old growth, one of the only areas around that has not been logged, I'm thinking some may be nesting on this island. Only a hunch but interesting to consider.
