Don't know about your shearwater, but number 3 is a Bushtit.

It's a bit funny looking but my inclination is to suggest it's a Fulmar. The dark hood doesn't really work for Pink-footed Shearwater. The shape looks very Fulmar like and it's also in heavy moult, which all of the Fulmars on that trip seemed to be.
