#2 and #3 look to be Red-bellied Woodpecker. #5 is a Mississippi Kite. They're beautiful birds. Great shots.

1) Don't feel like identifying lol
2 & 3) Red-bellied Woodpeckers
4 & 5) Mississippi Kites, adult and Juvenile(?), respectively.

Good timber does not grow with ease:

The stronger wind, the stronger trees.

The further sky, the greater length,

The more the storm, the more their strength.

Get my lifelist to 300 (currently 293)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 193 as of 5/12.

#1 is a Wood-Pewee, by range it would be an Eastern Wood-Pewee.
