I'm not 100% on the ID of any of them so any help much appreciated as always: First bird, no idea on this one apart from some sort of Sparrow? Click the image for an enlarged view.
ChirpChirp Wappingers Falls, NY August 30, 2012 1:15 PM Post #9259542	Second bird: Probably a Song Sparrow but just wanted to double-check. Click the image for an enlarged view.
ChirpChirp Wappingers Falls, NY August 30, 2012 1:17 PM Post #9259544	Third Bird: I thought maybe Nashville Warbler, although it lacks the white eye-ring. Click the image for an enlarged view.

Both the SS are juveniles, so with finer flank streaks than adults (and confusingly like Lincoln's!). Resin
ChirpChirp Wappingers Falls, NY August 30, 2012 7:08 PM Post #9259913	Thanks Resin. I think I keep seeing juvenile Song Sparrows which make me second guess whether they are SS or Lincoln's. I'll have to keep in mind the bill for future reference.
