1. Looks like an immature Ring-billed Gull
2-3. Same bird? Sharp-shinned or Cooper's, I'd go with Sharp-shinned as the head looks small, but I'm not sure.
4. Wood Duck.
5. Don't know.
6. Northern Rough-winged Swallow

5 looks like an a. crow or a red wing black bird and I agree with the above answers on the other pictures.

Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure what type of Duck that was because of the awful picture I took.

Might I suggest the hawk is a Red-shouldered Hawk?

The tail pattern doesn't fit with Red-shouldered Hawk, where the dark bands are wider than the white bands. Here the dark bands are narrower as for Sharp-shinned or Cooper's.
