Mockingbird and Sparrow? (Oakland, CA, USA) (1 Viewer)

Another request to please confirm/help/correct.

As always, much appreciate the help!

Northern Mockingbird.
Northern Mockingbird. He kept "hopping" out of the top of these trees. We wondered if he was trying to impress a female hidden in there.
Not quite sure what species this little bird is. I've yet to get very good at the small songbirds and sparrows.

1 and 2 are Northern Mockingbird.
3 looks like a finch of some sort. Perhaps a female House Finch.

Agree, Mocker & House Finch

Ooooh, I hope I get to see some of the male house finches eventually...that bright red would be such a change from all the browns, whites, and blacks of the vast majority of the birds we have.

Thanks for the help on the IDs. As usual, you folks are amazing.
