Hi - Not very good shots but I'm unsure on birds 1 & 2 (2 may be a swift? carrying nesting material). Is bird 3 possible a gray catbird?

Thanks for any help.

Not 100% sure on any of these, but my take:
1) Brown-headed Cowbird
2) Eastern Kingbird
3) European Starliing

Thanks all. Would that be a female RWB in the first shot?

If the Blackbird pic was taken recently, I'd say it was a female. If it was take awhile ago, it may well be an immature and tough to tell from this image.

Ok cool thanks KC Foggin. It was taken in June 2016 - I am going through archives.

Then chances are it is either an immature male or female.
