CLOSED: New to Seattle, need some help ID’ing the birds here

Puyallup, WA(Zone 8b)

So I just moved from Houston to the Seattle area. Gotta learn a whole new set of birds! I have a lot of action at my feeders already.
I’m thinking one may be a non-breeding golden crowned sparrow?
Then there’s a medium to smallish size hawk a saw last night.
And then a hummingbird. I’ve seen many Anna’s at the feeder, not sure if this is one also.
And one I have no idea what it is lol. He sits on the ladder on the back of my RV and calls & tried to peck the window. Cute little bugger.
Sorry the pic quality is not so good.

First one is a Peregrine Falcon.
Second one is most likely a female Rufus Hummer, given your region.
Not sure the third or fourth ones.

Hope this helps.

No. It is an accipiter, likely a Cooper’s hawk. Falcons have much longer wings.

Second one is most likely a female Rufus Hummer, given your region.

I do not know my hummers very well, so I don’t know.

Third bird is indeed a Golden-crowned Sparrow, and the fourth is a song sparrow

1. Peregrine Falcon
2. I am not the best with hummingbirds. But I don't think it is a Rufous female, I think it would have orange on it's side, and in the picture given I don't see any orange on the side of it.
3. Totally a Golden - Crowned Sparrow, we have those here at our house.
4. Maybe Chipping Sparrow?
