Two Hours of Birds at the Feeder

The following pictures give a sampling of the birds at the feeder outside the front dining room window during a 90-minute period yesterday, and during a 30 minute period this morning.
Rules: DON'T try to look up the bird on google or in a bird book. How many of these bird do you actually KNOW. Post a comment giving the bird numbers and the corresponding names of those you know.
Bird Number 1: The two birds right in front...
Here's another shot of Bird Number 1 up close:
Bird Number 2: (no, it's not a sparrow)
Bird Number 3: (should be easy)
Bird Number 4: (should also be easy)
Bird Number 5: (also easy)
Bird Number 6: very common; easy
Bird Number 7: even I don't know this one. Charcoal gray perfectly smooth, even coloring, with a white underbelly.
Bird Number 8:
Bird Number 9: If you heard this one, you'd know right off who he is, because he says his name.
Bird Number 10: Yes he's a blackbird, but which kind?
