Glen,
I took the liberty to download, crop, sharpen, add definition to each of
your photos, and then host them on my website in an effort to aid in the
identification of your observation.
Select "Slideshow" in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to see
full-screen versions of your photos.

Let me retract that .... I do think the "leaf" moves between frames
consistent with that way a bird's tail would move, and there is not much
other movement by the foliage.
So we're left with a bird that looks like a Warbling Vireo except with a
very uniformly greenish-yellow tail that also looks too long for that
species.
One photo (with the bird looking straight away from the camera) shows a
hint of a rusty cap that could fit Green-tailed Towhee or Nashville
warbler, but the bird has a pale, blank-faced look that doesn't fit
either of those.
Certainly a good puzzle!

P.S. Comparing the two photos that show the bird most clearly, it looks
as if the green "tail" stays in one place while the rest of the bird
shifts between frames. The "tail" is also more smoothly colored than
therest of the bird....
