1-most likely female bobolink but sexes are similar at this time..female plumage doesn't change like the male

2- Black-throated Green,  the face patch is probably fooling you

Bobolink!  I would've never thought that.  That's a great find!

You know just a few minutes after you left, I wandered over to the greenhouse area and in a tree I saw a Blue-headed Vireo.  I've been looking for one all year and finally found one at Downsview.  Made my day :)

Thanks for your help and the explanation - it will go a long way.
