#3 is a Northern Parula. Note the greenish mantle.

I think #3 is also a magnolia warbler.
And the late addition is a female Blackburnian warbler.

I stand corrected on #3 and agree with Magnolia. The wing bar didn't quite seem right for Parula but I placed too much emphasis on the mantle, forgetting that, in some plumages, it's a shared trait with Parula.

I agree with #3 being Magnolia.

Greats shots btw, ... looks like you had a very nice day.
