Need help identifying these from the Greater Toronto Area - possibly Philadelphia Vireo and Alder Flycatcher? Any help is appreciated (sorry for image quality). Thanks!

1. American redstart. Note (e.g.) yellow on tail-base and foreflank.

Ahhh never thought of that - thank you!

Welcome to the Forum, bicchawla! Your first bird is a female American Redstart. Your second bird is some sort of Empidonax flycatcher.

Thanks, Microtus!

I think the Empid is likely either Willow or Alder, but you can't tell between the two without hearing vocalizations

Hi, one more I'm not too sure about. We spotted these at a wildlife reserve just outside Toronto in a small dried up inlet right next to a marsh. I was thinking Gadwalls maybe as they have been spotted here very recently. Image quality isn't great as this was the closest we could get to take pictures.

Thanks
