    Hi Roger,

    Pretty sure #1 are sanderlings, #3 is a semipalmated plover , can't identify #3.

    #3 I believe is a Killdeer (Banded Plover).

    Sorry to be picky, but number 3 is not a killdeer. They have two black bands on the chest and a dark bill. I'm sticking with a semipalmated plover!
