Hi,
I took these pictures in Brazos Bend State Park (south of Houston, TX; BTW this should positively wrap up my travel to southern FL and TX).

I am not sure about the warbler, a Tennessee maybe .. but isn't it odd to see it at this time of the year?

I think the 2nd and 3rd pictures (same bird) are of a Cooper's Hawk?

I believe the last picture is of a Northern Harrier (pretty certain).

What do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Howard

Your warbler is an Orange-crowned. Tennessee shouldn't be present during this time of year and wouldn't show the partial eyering.
I agree with Cooper's Hawk and (immature) Northern Harrier for your second two birds.
 
Hi, Liam:

Thanks, I looked it up, Orange-crowned seems to fit! This would be a new bird for me too, thanks!
