#5 is a wonderful picture of Upland Sandpiper.
#4 is a Willet.
#3: there is a Lesser Yellowlegs in front and Wilson's Phalaropes in back.
#2 are Willets.
#1 is a Ring-billed Gull.
 
oh wow thank you!!!
THe upland sandpiper was sitting on the fence post as i was driving by... stayed there and posed for awhile, until i drove off!!
thanks for all the help.. i hadnt even considered a willet for those ones!! i thought they were two different birds! (the ones in number 2 had very white bellies, while the other is spotted... )
