Hi David-
The warbler appears to be a Tennessee. It has a gray cap, plain white
underparts, white supercilium, and barely visible wingbars, all which fit a
Tennessee. Very little of the undertail can be seen, but what is showing
appears white, not yellow as would be seen on an Orange-crowned.
The other two photos are of a Dark-eyed Junco. It appears to be a first year
bird. I can see why you might think it was the Oregon subspecies by the hood
shape, but seeing how it is a young bird, and there are intermediates
between Slate-colored and Oregon Juncos, I am reluctant to pin a subspecies
on this bird.

The first looks like a warbler. The photo is a bit fuzzy, as the light was
getting very bad. I'm just not sure on which species (I do have a guess, but
am looking for confirmation)

The second has me stumped. I believe it is in the sparrow family. I thought
it was a Oregon junco at first glance. Let me know what you guys think.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to
consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family
anatidae on our hands-Douglas Adams
