I shot some sandpipers and would appreciate some help identifying them. I'm guessing on the names. There are so many different types it's hard to distinguish the difference on some of them.

#1 Sanderling?

#2 Ruddy Turnstone?

#3 Dunlin?

Thanks for the thumbs up! I like them too. The beach just wouldn't be the same without these little guys.

#1 is a Semi-palmated Sandpiper, #2 is, indeed a Ruddy Turnstone and #3, I agree with Gregory, is a Willet.

Very nice shots!
