Thanks to all who have helped with ID'ing these birds.
I had a few requests to post a summary of responses,
so here goes.

UNID #1: Quite a variety of opinions on this one.

- 3 responses said MacGillivray's Warbler. This is
what I was leaning towards, but didn't want to sway
people's opinions.
- 1 response said Nashville Warbler, and one thought
it was a possibility but they ruled it out because of
the lack of a yellow chin.
- 1 response said orange-crowned warbler
- 1 response said ruby-crowned kinglet or hutton's
vireo, leaning towards the kinglet

UNID #2 and #3: All said Bushtits. One commented that
if there were many seen, that would clinch it - and
as I recall, there was a large group of them in the
bushes, all fairly active.

UNID #4: All said Bewick's Wren.

Thanks to all for the help!
