Recently went on a Caribbean cruise and took lots of wildlife photos mainly for identification. There are 3 I am not sure about.

1 Is a Southern Lapwing, but I'm afraid that's all I can help you with...

my guess is
1 southern lapwing
2 semipalmated plover
3 solitary sandpiper

Not entirely sure of the latter two

Correct with the last two. Bill shape and loral pattern say Semipalmated, even if the palmations aren't entirely obvious

I concur with all three. The eye-ring is diagnostic for Solitary, as the chocolate mantle over orange legs for semi-palm. And the lapwing, well, that's hard to mistake for anything else. :-O

Agree...Southern Lapwing, Semipalmated Plover and a Solitary Sandpiper.
