Okanagan British Columbia birds in August (1 Viewer)

I came accross some pictures I took a few years back on a trip before I was that big into birding. I am not from where I took the pictures, so I'm unfamiliar with the birds.

Date taken for and location for all these are August 14, 2016, Okanagan Lake Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.

This first one I put into Merlin Bird ID and it gave me Brewer's blackbird, though I want to make sure.

The second picture Merlin suggested a Bullock's Oriole? I think this is correct and it is a juvenile though I'm not certain.

The third bird I understand if no one can help me because the picture is nothing but a blur but perhaps based on the colour someone can help id this one.

Hi CamS,
it has been a while since I was in Okanagan territory, but I'll get the ball rolling:

1 Agree with juv Brewer's Blackbird
2 I think that this one is more likely to be a young female Baltimore Oriole
3 Just a guess: Male Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch

Thanks for the replies.

1. Thanks for the confirmation

2.Looking at the ranges of both oriole species, and having taken the pictures in the very south of central BC, it falls in the range of the Bullock's Oriole but out of the Baltimore Oriole's range.

3. I only now recall seeing many Lewis's woodpecker in this location. This could be a possibilty as well

My apologies, I mixed up the ranges somehow. On range, Bullock's makes more sense

Lewis's Woodpecker differs in several ways from the one in your photo, which looks good for Northern Flicker.
