Hints:
Bird one: This sparrow is found in western mountains, and eastern taiga.
Bird two: Look at the head. The white is a hint.....white near eyes.....hmmmmm....
Bird three: A very social bird, nests in large groups. Colonies, even.
Bird four: This bird is VERY closely related to a much more widespread bird, how close is debatable!

Finally, WC Sparrow and NW Crow are correct, taken in Glacier Montana and Olympic Oregon respectively. Not a cormorant either. Not a YH blackbird. A colonial nesting passerine, insect eating, very aerial........BTW, the flying bird is the side on the left (its flying right to left cross the screen). It is a juvenile btw.

#3 appears to be a swallow so I'm going to guess Purple Martin.
