Garden Clinic Weeds Lawn Care

help identifying these weeds

last year

I live in Eastern Washington. The last few years I've noticed 2 types of weeds spreading on a 2+ acre field I cleared out may years ago (Most of my property is wooded).

This year they are spreading like wild fire. Can anyone tell me what they are, and what I can do to control them. Because of all the wild life (deer, Elk, birds, etc.) I would like to find an animal friendly solution.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

I have an established Bermuda grass that looks fantastic, other than a 10x10 patch of this grass. I thought it was centipede, but someone else said it wasn’t. Please help me identify it and kill it! Thanks!
