Hi!
I have a set of four paintings that I believe to be by Jin Mengshi 金梦石.
I've been trying to transcribe the writing, and I would love if some of the experts here could run their eyes over my attempts, and also suggest if I am correct in attributing them to Jin.

First is the squirrels:
散形糸玉曜
耀来出金堂
夢石

Second is the birds:
I can't make out the first character, and the third in line 2 is a bit of a guess.
*之開不了種
忽放牢牛
金龢写

Third is the calligraphy:
岳峻基厚，流清源洁。动静无滞，方圆有折。举直平心，连从掉舌。独悲魏禅，终存汉节。骏发
苏孝慈墓志
梦褝 or 禅？
It's apparently an excerpt from a tomb tablet. Link below.

I'll add the fourth photo in a reply.

Thank you!
Zac

Fourth Painting:
潇湘 (xiaoxiang, other name for Xiangjian river in Hunan province)
风雨
辛卯 (twenty-eighth year H4 of the 60 year cycle, e.g. 2011 or 2071）
仲夏 (midsummer / second month of summer)
八十三叟 83 year old man
金梦石
写
