Was up north of Virginatown this weekend and could use some help.

Flycatchers

Northern waterthrush?

1. My guess is Least Flycatcher
2. My guess is Alder Flycatcher (Alder, Least and Yellow-bellied are the only Empidonax flycatchers up there.
3. Yes, Northern Waterthrush
4-5 Looks like a Red-eyed Vireo

Thanks Thomas!
And now that you mention it, I do remember hearing Red-eyed vireos calling when the mosquitos stopped flying around my ears. I've never experienced biting insects like that before.
