What country is Port Stanley in? The only one I know of is in the Falkland islands.Think #4 could be juv Grey Catbird

 

[49bentley]

oops .... Port Stanley is in Ontario Canada.

I would go for House Wren on #3 and Gray Catbird on #4. Pass on the flycatchers.

Quite a decent day's birding that would be!

No ideas on the flycatchers?

I am pretty confident that the first one is a Least Flycatcher.

Pewees have very long primary projections.

Thanks kevinsl06.

The flycatchers are definitely Empids (bold eyerings and wingbars, short primary projection, and large head all rule out pewees). I think the last bird looks good for a Least. Not sure how to rule out Yellow-bellied for the first bird because of the angle and lighting, but I'm leaning Least for that one as well.
