Hi,

Can anyone identify these birds. They were photographed on July 31, 2011 at Parker River NWR in Massachusetts.

Thanks,

1. Greater Yellowlegs
2+3 Semi-palmated sandpipers moulting into non-breeding plumage?

I'm just learning about sandpipers myself so this is my guess.
#1 Short-billed Dowitcher
#2&3 Semipalmated Sandpiper

I agree with Short-billed Dowitcher and Semipalmated Sandpipers.

Duh, maybe I should just go to work. The first bird is a Dowitcher.
