Birds 1 and 3 are empidonax flycatchers. With a short primary projection and fairly prominent eye-ring, I would say #1 is a Least Flycatcher. With a moderate primary projection and very minimal eye-ring, I'd say #3 is a Willow or Alder Flycatcher (can't separate those two visually).

Bird #2 is not sufficiently bright or contrasty for Blue-headed Vireo - it looks like a Warbling Vireo.
 
1) Least Flycatcher
2) Philadelphia Vireo [agree now with Warbling Vireo after viewing second photo]
3) "Traill's" (Alder/Willow) Flycatcher
