The second clip that Cameron uploaded to YouTube is to my ear the typical 
"chimp" note of a Pacific Wren.  They often give it in pairs, as was the case 
during the recording.
An example of a typical Pacific Wren call can he heard here:

The typical call of a Winter Wren 9s a sharper "kep" also given in pairs, such 
as here.

The twittering or agitated calls of both species sound very similar to me and I 
don't think they are useful in separating these sister taxa.
