I agree with pine warbler for #1.

Actually it's:

1. Pine Warbler
2. female House Sparrow
3. Palm Warbler

Throw in my 2 cents here

1 Pine Warbler
2 Female House Sparrow
3 Orange -crowned Warbler

Okay, #1 is Pine Warbler and #2 is female House Sparrow. Here are two more pics of #3 to see if maybe they help. First...

With that chestnut crown I agree with Palm Warbler for # 3.

Huntsville, AL(Zone 7a)

Here ya go... had to avert a near crash of the 'ol computer! Anyway, the white spots on the tail seem to confirm Palm Warbler, too. Many thanks to all who shared their IDs. The more I learn, the more I see that I need to learn!

LOL.

LOL, Mrs. Ed. Most times that seems to be the extent of my knowledge when it comes to these cute little guys. Unfortunately, I am still at the point where I need to have the book in hand when trying to ID them, yet it seems I have too few fingers to mark the pages of what I think one might be! I'm learning though.... I'm learning. :)

Same here! I take pictures first, then ask questions/look up in book later.

Putnam County, IN(Zone 5b)

LOL!!!! That is usually my approach too Marna. Because when I look in the book first I do like I did this morning (grosbeak/purple finch) and get it wrong!!

One of the best identifiers for Palm Warblers is the tail wagging. I don't think any of the other warblers that winter in North Florida have that habit.

They look very similar, I agree. But for one, I think that it might be too late for grosbeaks in your area. The grosbeaks are also larger, more like cardinal size and have some yellow on the front.
