Hi,

My own feeling from these images is - dull F/ imm.Yellow Warbler (I don't
see a gray head or cheek, although I'm a bit bothered by the apparently dark
tail underside - could it be a shadow?), Magnolia Warbler (pale supercilium,
wrong "necklace" pattern for Canada, did it have wingbars?), W-W Crossbill
(at least the 2nd and 3rd birds on the R. have the right bill shape) and Am.
Tree Sparrow.
