More Help w/Bird ID

Something is going on with our oak tree. There must be some kind of bug infestation or something. The bird activity in the tree has skyrocketed. Yesterday I got help identifying a warbler. Well we noticed some other bird even smaller than the warbler -- or maybe two birds. They seem to behave the same but don't look the same and we're thinking maybe male/female.
Anyway, I'm not equipped to take bird photos but hopefully there's enough info here for an ID. Bleeping things are tiny and hyperactive in the extreme -- they do not stop moving at all.
P.S. Robert suggested I provide location: Saint Louis MO.

Where are you, that would help with ID as some birds or subspecies are location specific.

The second bird looks like a Brown Creeper
The First might be transition colors of a Gold Finch

I found this site about birds in Missouri - nearly 500 species - the image keeps changing so I suppose if you watched it long enough you would see all of them. https://mobirds.org/Birds/
Your little one looks like some kind of wren or maybe a small flycatcher. Here in So Cal we have "Bushtits" they are smaller than some large hummingbirds and act like little flying nervous breakdowns. They come in bunches and hunt small insects and spiders among the leaves of trees and bushes. They also don't seem to worry much about concepts like top, bottom, up, down etc. much.

The first might be a Blue-grey gnatcatcher. It would make sense if the tree has a bug infestation that they would show up for the feast.
