CLOSED: Several unkown birds

Belleville, MI(Zone 5b)

I'm hoping to identify these in order to add them to the BF. I can look up all their details for adding them, but I need a place to start. If you know any of them I would appreciate your help.

Here's the first one:

#5 and I guess that's all I'll try to id for now. Thank-you in advance.

Hey, I've found #4's identity! It's a saddle-billed stork. I would still appreciate any help with the others.

Hi Ero, I'm sure Resin will be back later. Congrats on getting the Stork! Great pics btw!

#1 is one of the South American tanagers, not sure which though.

#3 is Yellow Grosbeak Pheucticus chrysopeplus

#5 is Abdim's Stork Ciconia abdimii from Africa

Not sure on #2

Guess all these are in a zoo - if uploading on BirdFiles, best to say where!

Thank-you both. I really appreciate your help.

It turns out #2 is a red-capped cardinal.

The tanager still has me stumped.

I've found another photo of this type of tanager (or at least very close) and, of course, the only name they use for them is "Mexican Tanagers".

I'll be sure to let everyone know once I find more information.

You're going to love this, it's the Turquoise Tanager or Tangara MEXICANA!
