I am posting 3 pics.
I think that the 3rd is a juv black-throated sparrow?

Requesting ideas on all 3.

Thanks!

1. Rock Wren
2. Western Wood-Pewee?
3. Yep - juvenile Black-throated Sparrow

2 doesn't look like a pewee to me on most counts. I'd hate to even rule out a vireo on that view but I think Empidonax is a safe bet (Hammond's/dusky?).

I agree that #2 is an Empid ( W. Wood-Pewee would be greyer, the primary projection would be far longer and the wingbars less 'crisp" ). The tail looks a bit long for Hammonds and the distinct notch at the tip would probably rule out Cordilleran. Dusky ......... possibly.
