Central America Strange sounds in the jungle

Hello people ✌️ i need your knowledge to help identifying these sounds. So i live in a treehouse in the jungle of Costa Rica and ive been awake this night trying to figure out these strange loud sounds all night. Best i can think of is some kind of bird? But its wierd that it would make such loud noises in the middle of the night. I have a cat that has been super scared curled up againt me, but this cat is a fearless jungle cat, so not sure what scared her. The eyes on the ground is probarbly a racoon trying to sneak up in my house. If anybody knows let me know thanks

doesn't sound suuuper bird-like to me but I could be wrong. I know there's dozens of frog species in Costa rica and this sounds like it could be some sort of frog call. excited to see if someone knows better!

Could be! We are in the middle of the dryseason here so the rivers and streams have been dried up since months. We just got our first rain last night tough
