These are 2 different species of Scarabaeidae-Melolonthinae. Images 1 and 3 are probably genus Sericesthis; image 1 is either Antitrogus morbillosus or something closely related.

Thanks Kim,
There were a few of them. I think I initially thought they were different but I'm just now looking at photos from January. I'll separate them out.
