no expert, but here's my try from familiarity with NC birds and a  
couple of field guides:

5118 & 4964--Mockingbird (beak says NOT shrike)
5058 &5201--yep, hooded
5075 &4985--great-winged grackle
5178--yep, neotropic
5159--yep, kiskadee
4989--Tropical or Cassin's (?)
5162--yep, wood stork
5141--yep, BTGW
5018--same kingbird? you got me;^)

nice bird pics
