I have taken down my feeders and will sanitize them and leave them down for awhile. Also hosed down my balcony and everything on it. And I'll notify my neighbors on NextDoor app. Thanks. Poor birds.

What sparrow-sized bird in Southern California this time of year would have a bright red bill and gold/copper crown?

Taken on 2020-11-14 in the late afternoon at the Los Angeles River, near Sunnynook Foot Bridge, Atwater Village, CA.
Are all of these immature Red-shouldered Hawks?
1 & 2 are the same bird taken at 4:37 pm
3 & 4 are the same bird taken at 5:09 pm
5 & 6 are the same bird taken at 5:16 pm
There were 6 minutes when the bird on the cable was gone between 3/4 and 5/6.
I don't know if all of the photos are one and the same bird, or if there are two or three different birds here.

Taken 11-21-2020 at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve in Van Nuys, CA.
This bird has been puzzling me for a month. I wanted it to be a warbler. But I just realized it is likely a thrush (if so, my first).
The bar charts on eBird indicate it is likely a Hermit Thrush, but I'm not so sure.
I'm including a couple different exposures as produced by the camera. The first one is probably underexposed and the other two maybe a little overexposed. It was direct sunlight at 3:45 pm, and no leaves on the burnt trees.
The legs/feet are not shown in any of the photos I have.

Thanks DLecy and Birding Boy. The Swift is another new one for me.

Taken 12-19-2020 in late afternoon at Los Angeles River in Atwater Village, CA.
Does the first photo (_4010) look like a White-throated Swift? This is the only photo of that bird that I have because it was in the background of a raven I was photographing.
There were a few other similar birds that I believe are Northern Rough-winged Swallows in the remaining 3 photos.
The 4th photo puts the 3rd photo in context of what I was actually photographing.

Ha! That's a new one for me.
Thanks Birds Nuts and Aidan.

I can't figure out what these are.
There was a group of 10 or 12 flying in a northerly direction like they had somewhere to go.
The first picture is of 4 birds in a row. The next 3 pictures are close-ups of birds 2, 3 and 4 from photo 1.
The last 3 pictures are individual close-ups from a different photo.
What I see is:
Dark, thick pointy bill; maybe a black eye line or mask; brownish/rust head, throat, chest; maybe yellow wash on belly; white undertail coverts; dark tail with yellowish tips; brown wings (top).
