Shrub and tree identification

Hello from Southern Oregon! I’m hoping someone can help identify these shrub/plants and trees. We’ve purchased new property and I’m trying to get to know our plant life.

Thanks in advance!

they are all maple trees. Bottom two are dwarf Japanese maple. Top is a regular maple.

There are many varieties of maple trees: scarlet maple, silver maple, paperbark maple, and most of 100 more. Someone more knowledgeable than me would have to ID what variety of maple the beautiful old tree in top picture is. Maples are famous for their gorgeous fall foliage color, which you are seeing.

The fall color shrub in the two identical photos look like nandins to me. Did/does it have clusters of red berries?

In the foreground the evergreen jagged point leaves look like holly or maybe Oregon grape holly? Did this one fruit at all?

The green little one to the right - I can’t quite tell.

Thanks for your help! I was hoping the one was holly but have a feeling it’s Oregon Grape.
Yes, the Nandin does have clusters of berries. I’m going to research that one. We have 8. I hadn’t heard of those. Thanks again everyone
