I agree with Brendan's identifications, except for the largish pale shorebird shown sleeping in two of the shots. The overall pale coloration, "spangled" appearance to the upperparts, and large, plump feel compared to the Semipalmated Sandpiper next to it makes it look like a juvenile Sanderling to me...
