Top photo is something in the viburnum (highbush cranberry) genus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viburnum_opulus Supposedly good arrow wood, but I wouldnt pick it for a bow personally. Second pic has a few things in it, and I'm not sure what any of them are! Maybe an alder in the foreground.

I think #2 is alder too. Makes sense where you are. A picture of the trunk would help. Again, I have made some nice arrows of alder but there is better bow wood than this
