Is this a type of warbler?

Another sparrow type bird.

These little guys are around most of the winter.

Number 1 and 3 are both Chipping Sparrows. The last one is a Common Redpoll. Number 2 is a type of Empidonax flycatcher but not sure which one.

BN,

Thank you so much. I did not know we had fly catchers in this area. Thank you SO much for taking the time to identify the birds.

Here are a few more photos. Any assistance would be fantastic.

Here is one that hung out by my pond quite a bit.

Here is another little sparrow.

One of my poor backyard birds nemesis.

ladylotus,

I am also in North Dakota. I suggest you check the link below to the Grand Cities Bird Club, located in Grand Forks and East Grand Forks. The site has a link to a birding checklist for the area so you will know what birds MIGHT be around, and there is also an image gallery that will help you with identification.

Here is a link that might be useful: GCBC

Of the second set, the first is a Lark Sparrow, then Tennessee Warbler (though the tail spots are throwing me off), then a White-crowned Sparrow. The last one I "think" is an immature Cooper's Hawk based on the size and thickness of the legs, but it could be a Sharp-shinned Hawk. It is hard to judge size from the photo. Sharp-shinneds are generally about the size of a jay, the Cooper's about the size of a crow. Hope that helps.

I second all of Birding Nut's IDs (including the inability to ID to Empidonax flycatcher).

Also want to add that the last one (the hawk) is a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk.
