Identifying Birds Help identifying birds? D:?

Question by Panda Cookie: Help identifying birds? D:?
Hi, I’m trying to identify birds, and I’m having a lot of trouble. I’ve tried using whatbird.com, but I guess I’m doing something wrong because I’m not getting any matches. So if you know the names of any of these birds, please tell me! D:
Here are the pictures (sorry if they’re kinda crappy, my camera is bad and I’m a very amateur photographer):

(The last two are the same bird, but taken at different angles.)

I’m really desperate here, so if you have any bird identification tips/suggestions, they’d help very much.
Oh, and I live in Central California, if it helps any.
Well, thanks so much for any help you can give! :O
To be more specific, I live in the Central Valley.
