2, 3 and 4 are types of sandpiper. being cautious, I'd almost call #2 a snipe. Not sure if i'm correct or not. great pics.

Very nice series Billy. I think #2 is a Short-billed Dowitcher, #3 is a Sanderling, & #4 is a Willet.

Nice shots Billy. If you ever get a shot of a Turnstone turning over a stone, I'd like to see it. ;)

Some nice shorebirds you got there. I'm no help with ID's cuz so many of them look alike to me also. Funny as I learn names and the ways to ID, I begin to wonder how I could not have seen the identifiers before. Seems like once you know, It seems easy! ;)

Thanks for sharing
