  3. Red Knot or maybe Short Billed Dowitcher. The beak looks a little long for a Red Knot.

  4. Boxer, I loves me some puppy pics!

    It's that Carl Zeiss lens on my Sony. AWESOME!

    Chickory, yes they are. :)

    Shamy, I'm thinking you're right with the Short Billed Dowitcher.

  6. ThreeC, top pic with the larger bird is a Black-bellied Plover in winter plumage.
    The little white birds are Sanderlings.
    Gonna head out tomorrow and try to get some more birds for you. :)
