Just based on looking at the birds, I'd agree with PrairieMerlin - I don't see what bird would be the Sanderling - but apparently that isn't correct with or without the Sanderling. Looking at where this collection of birds would occur, I come up with either a) San Diego Bay and the American Oystercatcher is a vagrant or b) the northeastern U.S. coast between Cape Cod and Chesapeake Bay. The godwits look Marbled to me, which is a rare bird on the east coast, but American Oystercatcher is very rare in California. I'll assume this is the east coast, then. I can't find any juvenile terns or anything among the Skimmers, so I'm going to guess this is Cape Cod and in spite of appearances the Godwits aren't Marbled:

Brant, Black Skimmer, Willet, American Oystercatcher, Hudsonian Godwit
 
On further review, I see that Black Skimmers don't really make it as far as Massachusetts, at least not in the those numbers. So, scratch the Hudsonians-that-look-like-Marbleds theory. I'm back to agreeing with PrairieMerlin's apparently incorrect or incomplete answer.
