First 2 seen today at Picnic Point in Madison during a quick walk.

Not sure what this is.  Well I have a guess but I won't bias the guesses.
Bad lighting otherwise it'd probably be easier.

This one I remember singing, not buzzing, but my best guess I guess is a
female gnatcatcher?  Gray and white bird.  This photo is out of focus and so
it's not the best, but maybe enough for an ID.  Up in a tree, pretty busy
bird singing and moving around.

Finally, these.  I can recognize song sparrows singing on a perch or when I
can see the diagnostic spot, but these were foraging around near a pond at
the Arboretum yesterday on the ground quietly.  Are these song sparrows or
something else?
