6816 and 6901 both look like Semipalmated Sandpipers to me, and I think you're right on the other two, but I'll wait for confirmation from someone more skilled with waders.

Nice pics, by the way!

Hi Mark if by 3 you mean 6879 I think it is not a Semipalmated mostly because of the color of the legs. Semipalmated have dark (Black) legs and this one have yellow greenish legs and feets and that is the reason why I say Least.
