Agree on #1-2, not sure on the kingbird but likely Cassin's.

I am not sure about any of these birds. I am accustomed to seeing Northern Rough-winged Swallows with a more uniformly brown throat. These look rather like juvenile Tree Swallows to me, but I would not expect them in April.

I see what you're saying, but I've never seen a Tree Swallow of any age with a brown wash on the flanks. I think the birds are within normal range of variation for N. Rough-winged Swallow.

Yes, Rough-winged Swallow for the first two and a Kingbird for the 3rd but not quite sure which one.
