Can anyone identify these three little birds? The third one walks along the shore of our lake. Thank you so much. DJ

What corner of the planet were these taken? #2 might be western kingbird.
Google "shorebirds" for #3. One came up in my results, looked exactly like yours, but wasn't ID'd.

Hello, my fault for not including where I took these when I posted. These were taken in Payson, Arizona - about an hour-and-a-half northeast of Phoenix. Thank you.

How about a Female Vermilion Flycatcher; Western Kingbird, and a Spotted Sandpiper. :-)

Nice images DJ. To the best I could find.
1. Female Vermilion flycatcher, Some yellowesh lower brest some orange as you's is. Males are red
2. Couldn't find in book. I see them in company of Scissor Tailed Flycatcher. Thought it was female but not according to Texas Bird book.
3. Comon Sandpiper but not the spotted verity I think. Couldn't find image with stripes instead of spots.
Lot if if's in this answer on 2 and 3.

My birder husband says that AJ is correct on all three. The first is a female Vermillion Flycatcher, not a Says Phoebe.
