These were taken yesterday at Fort Desoto Florida

on the Gull I was leaning towards bonaparte's gull but the bill looks slightly different shaped and the legs are black

with sandpipers I can never tell ....leaning towards least due to yellow legs and dark bill but the bill seems too long and straight for a least.....

The white and black look like juvenile laughing gulls. But I am by no means an expert. Not sure about the browns. My first guess was sanderlings. But I think the beak is too long.

I agree that these are immature Laughing Gulls. I believe that your shorebird is a Dowitcher, most likely Short-billed.
