I'd like to thank all those that responded to my ID help request.

Essentially I am Song Sparrow challenged as all the "unknown" sparrow  
photos were of Song Sparrows.

It was not a Western, but a Least Sandpiper.

Everyone agreed on those IDs.

The Warbler was a little more interesting.  The jury split down the  
middle on Wilson's vs Yellow.   I tend to side with the Wilson's  
Warbler group based on the black on the crown (which is not a shadow)  
and clear yellow (no red streaking) on the breast.  The photo is  
located in my "unknown birds" album for anyone else who would like to  
add their comments.

Trying to catch up on photo identification and came across some that I  
cannot figure out.  The most interesting is the 9th photo of what  
first appears to be a warbler, but I'm fairly certain it isn't.  The  
shape of the beak, the black marking on the crown and the overall  
color pattern don't seem to fit.  Any help would be appreciated.  I've  
started using PicasaWeb as a temporary solution to make it easier to  
share.  The url is:
