Thanks to all who replied.
Most said the first was an oriole, likely an immature (what I thought). But
while most said Baltimore, several said young orchard oriole.
Second one everyone said vireo and all but one thought warbling. One person
thought Philadelphia because of perceived yellow but I don't remember seeing
yellow so I think it's just the bad photo and warbling seems correct (I
can't remember the song - wasn't one I could think of a phrase to remember
by).
Last were of course song sparrows.
Eager to hear if Emily's mystery bird is something. I heard black chin,
gray crown with chestnut sides and thought male breeding house sparrow, but
obviously she doesn't think it's a house sparrow, so wonder what it could
be. If anyone has any breakthroughs please post to the list as I'm curious
now to know what it is.
Thanks again, my forecast says high of 80 tomorrow!

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?
