I have to agree with Frode -- looks more like an Orchard, but the pic is so bright, it could be a washed out Balt.  Labor day weekend is the very tail end of Orchard time here (my latest date is Sept 7, and most year I don't see them in Sept at all.

Hi again,

Thanks to everyone who helped me with these birds.  I received a few
suggestions that the yellow one might be a Baltimore Oriole.  The photos in
the book do seem to match this bird.  And the second bird seems to be a
Redstart.  I initially thought the red patch was a foreground leaf, but upon
further review there is an area that moved with the bird between photos.

Woo hoo, I'm 0 for 2!

Seriously, thanks for the help, and for helping me learn to better ID the
birds myself.
