I don't know what the the first one is but I think the second one is a white-rumped sandpiper.

Thanks for the help,

hudsonian godwits and a least sandpiper.

I think the larger shorebirds are dowitchers.

Yes, Dowitchers (but which one?), a Black-necked Stilt and Least Sandpiper (pale legs, unlike White-rumped S.).

Here is another shot of the dowitcher/godwit?

Definitely dowitcher but I'll let others figure out which one. Also agree on Least Sandpiper.

ahh thats better, nice shot of a dowitcher,i think short billed,the shot of the "dowitchers" at the top-my instant reaction was that they were h.godwits,despite the yellow legs and thick dark bills!!

Difficult from these shots, but I'd favor long-billed.
