    Thanks to Dominik Mosur & Bill Bousman for answering my post & telling me that the birds were probably Hutton's Vireos. I admit I didn't pay enough attention to the bill shape & color when wrestling w/ my ID choice between Pac-slope & Hutton's. Hutton's now makes more sense, especially w/ other field marks I couldn't reconcile w/ Pac-slope - yellow-edged tertials & tail feathers, rounded heads w/ no crest & a grayish tint to the heads. I also had forgotten that Hutton's was the same size as Pac-slope not Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Thanks for your patience.
