Massachusetts various (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I would appreciate confirmation (or otherwise ) concerning the ID of the following birds all photographed in Massachusetts.
At the moment I tentatively have -
1/ Eastern Phoebe
2/ Ist winter male Common Yellowthroat
3/ Greater Yellowlegs (as opposed to lesser)
4/ Assuming either House or Purple Finch but not 100%
5/ I would guess Northern Cardinal but didn't see crest and somehow looks a little different in my ID guide. Cannot think what else it could be.

Any feedback on any of these much appreciated - Thanks

I agree with your identifications on all except perhaps #4. The flat crown and lack of any hint of wingbars makes me wonder if this could be a molting Red Crossbill.
