I need help with these birds please!

Hi, here are a bunch of birds I'm having trouble identifying.  I'll include locations too.  

1.  Gull with white-tipped bill - Maitland River, Goderich ON



2.  Tobermory, ON


3.  Long Point, ON


4.  Woodstock, ON


5.  Woodstock, ON (terrible pic, sorry)


Many thanks to anyone who can ID these birds!

#1 looks like a Herring Gull.  I don't know why the bill tip is white.
#2 looks like a Water Pipit
#3 is a Savannah Sparrow
#4 is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet
#5 is probably a female Cowbird based on the profile and the general lack of markings.

I agree with the IDs above.

Number 2 is nowadays called American Pipit, which is the North American race of Buff-bellied Pipit, which became a species when the Water Pipit was split into three different species. See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buff-bellied_Pipit
