Hi Mathew,

Here's my take on the lot.

1 - Warbling Vireo
2 - Blackburnian Warbler (female)
3 - Black-throated Green Warbler (female)
4 - American Redstart (female)
5 - Bay-breasted Warbler (female)

It's difficult to be sure from a single image, but I think the first one's a Tennessee Warbler.  The lores look too dark for a Warbling Vireo to me.  The whitish eyeline and distinctly dark cap also don't look right.  The bill looks too pointy for a vireo, but that may be the camera angle.

My first impression was a really drab Red-eyed Vireo, but again, the bill looks too small.

1.  Red-eyed Vireo.

4.  The Redstart is a male.

5.  The Bay-breasted looks like a male.

I'll go with Red-eyed vireo for #1 as well.

Good call on #4. It looks like a 1st year male American Redstart.

Me too!!!  The beak on a Warbling Vireo is a little shorter as well.
