Nice shots all around. I think the last two are white crowned sparrows.

Someone on facebook said White Crowned Sparrow, which I think migt be it.

The picture of the first winter juveniles look a lot like the ones with muted
color.

Subject: birding with Tammy
A lot of people took yesterday off at work. So, these little brown birds
were out in droves foraging in the courtyard. I don't tend to carry
my bigma in my daily bag, so my longest lens was my 18-250.
These birds weren't much more than 4"/10cm tall, and of course don't
like people getting too close. As such, I'm rather impressed at
what the K-5 and 18-250 could do:

For a lens that covers that much range, it performs much better than it
really has any right to.
For people who hate galleries, I think this is the prettiest of the set
