Presume pic #3 was taken a lot more recently than March!! One of the Empidonax flycatchers (in a tree with fully expanded new leaves - no way in MN in March!), but sorry, not sure which.

Could be, now you mention it! Or at least some other Setophaga warbler.

It appears to have contrasting striations to the chest, also yellow tint to the flank/throat and chest....either that or I need Specsavers? :eek!:

#3 is definitely an Empid flycatcher and I'd call it a Yellow-bellied (eyering, yellow belly, throat same color/shade as head).

I was under the impression that Empids were all un-streaked, however a quick google suggested otherwise...particularly it seems with Yellow-bellied!

Good to know cheers.

I think some of the out of focus leaves are adding to the color, but I would agree the YBFC is still the best choice for #3. Agree on the IDs for 1 & 2 also.

My thoughts exactly here, on all counts.

2 looks more like a Hermit Thrush to me, with the white eye ring and lack of Buffy coloration in the breast.
