This is probably an easy one for most experienced birders, but the more I look at the photos and descriptions in the guides or on cornell's site, the more I get confused!

The bird in P2030032 (2) is the same as the bird in the foreground of P2030050 (2) - Copy.

P2080092 (2) and P2150227 (2) were taken in completely different locations (from each other and the other two photos). I think P2150227 (2) is a spotted sandpiper.

thanks in advance! Brenda

The last two are spotted sandpipers. I think the larger bird in 1) & 2) is grey plover rather than American golden because of the larger bill and apparently robust proportions. The small bird in the second is sanderling

Just to translate: "Grey Plover" is Brit for "Black-bellied Plover."
