I like the thread - thanks!
I would agree that you have kinglets. They flick their wings a lot, and the male's ruby crown is often concealed.
We have chestnut backed chickadees here too, and red breasted nuthatches.
I'm not seeing enough field marks on the other birds, for my limited skills, and a small photo without a lot of contrast due to the light. What color is the back? I see a forked tail, a wing bar. What about eye color, head marks? As small seedeaters, and your location on the coast I'd venture a first guess at one of the many sparrows. Do let me know what you see that helps you identify these guys!
