Very nice shots! The white birds look like egrets to me. And your shaking head raptor (nice timing on the picture) looks like an osprey, bit I'm not sure! Some people here will certainly be more able to answer you ;-)a

Agree with Egret (Snowy, judging by black bill) and Osprey .. first thought the other raptor was a Mississippi Kite, but don't think you're in its range ... so it would probably be a White-Tailed Kite ... and the last pic could be a Virginia Rail ... the small yellow bird could be American Goldfinch.

cheers.

The Rail is a pretty secretive bird that's not easy to photograph.

cheers,
