Alright, the first is a Rose Breasted Grossbeak, the second is a Black throated Green Warbler and I don't know what the third is- couldn't see it well and couldn't get a focus on it (it was very jittery). It seemed about finch size. The lighting was poor as it was about 7:00 P.M. here in PA and I ended up using the flash to get a non blurred image and then adjusting the brightness in photoshop (I think I need an external flash!!).

Nice shots of the Grosbeak and Warbler. Never seen that warbler before. Can't help with the third one. Maybe a male Yellow Rumped Warbler.

Great shots. The last bird looks like a female or first-year male American Redstart.

I agree with Rubberhead, looks like maybe a redstart but hard to tell. Where abouts in PA is Fleetwood? I live in Erie and the redstarts have arrived here. Love the grosbeak shots, they are cool looking birds.

Fleetwood is north of Philly right near Reading. Both the Grosbeak and this particular Warbler are firsts for me. The redstart would be the first time I've seen them as well (since I started getting into birding, anyway) but not sure if I'll really count it since it was so hard to tell- it did seem dark in general with it's feathering, so it may have been one.
