Those are nice shots. I think your first bird is a least sandpiper, because it has a black beak and yellow legs. Definitely not a dunlin. Shore birds are difficult to identify.

I think Rex is right on the first one. Like the Killdeer shot; they're not easy to get that close to. :)

Thanks, Guys. I always have trouble with some of the shorebirds, and right now my book is in storage so I made a guess. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, the first is a Least Sandpiper. Nice shots Stan, I'm glad you're getting some nice weather out there, enjoy.
