Where were these taken?
My guess for 1 is Traill's Flycatcher, but 2 is a House Finch.

Where were the shots taken? Your first bird definitely isn't a Least, as the bill and primary projection are both too large. With that minimal eye ring and large bill with a full yellow lower mandible, my best guess would be a Trails-type flycatcher, which are only distinguishable to species by voice.

My first thought on that first thought was Gray Flycatcher, clearly we need a location to call it.

I was thinking Willow for the first. . . but Trail's type is probably what we should leave it at. Glad to see there are more whatbird member in my area!
