Would like confirmation on three sandpipers please.
#1 - believe Baird's
#2 - believe Pectoral
#3 - believe Semipalmated Plover
Your help and comment are always appreciated.

1. Looks more like a Semipalmated Sandpiper to me - Baird’s generally has longer wing extension and longer, slightly drooping bill.
2. Looks correct for Pectoral.
3. Looks correct for Semipalmated Plover.

Agree on 2 and 3.

1, I dunno. I posted a picture on here many, many years ago that was deemed to be a Baird's after much debate (though not by/from me). The only thing I can recall is that it was definitely more elongated in its structure than pic 1 (which is what Alpha has said above, but more articulately), so Semi-palm is a good shout.

The first is definitely Semipalmated.

Look at the primary projection, absolutely a Semipalmated Sandpiper for #1
