Now I have a pretty good idea of what these little buggers are but would love to get some second opinions and hopefully confirmation.
1. this one I thought red tail but looked different than most the ones around here.

Can't help with your hawks aside from guessing, but here is a link to my Sanderling in winter plumage:

Very nice, both of your hawks look like Red-tails to me.

I think most of your shorebirds are Dunlin. In the center of the photo are a few with much shorter bills but I can't tell for sure which species they are.

it is a Swanson's hawk, probably immature. They have so many color phases they can be tricky.

Your waders are mostly Dunlin, ( down-turned bill ), and i feel the others are Sanderling,may be wrong as im not familiar with all your small waders.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
