1. With the yellow undertail coverts I can't get it to anything else than an Orange-crowned Warbler, even if the belly is much whiter than usual and it's early for them.
2-3. Bay-breasted Warbler. Dark legs, fairly unstreaked flanks with some buff colour in the last picture and fairly wide wing bars point to Bay-breasted rather than Blackpoll.

Thanks Thomas, always appreciate your guidance.
Here's another image of the first bird - it provides a look at the legs and the "undertail coverts" - could it possibly be a Tennessee Warbler??



Cheers, Gary

The overall impression is more of a Tennessee Warbler, and the undertail coverts look more white in the second picture, although they are a bit obscured. Could the yellow impression in the first picture be a photographic effect?

Thomas, here are 2 other images with no editing other than cropping. Hope they'll help.
As always, many thanks

I agree with Tennessee. I think the angle of the first image is confusing and it's not actually the under tail coverts that are visible in that case shot.
