Thank you.
I am not sure what they are. There are a lot of Dunlins and western sandpipers here, but I thought that the wings of most looked like Willits. I have a hard time with my bird ID. When there are birders around, they can tell me what they are, but on my own, I have a hard time.

Nice shot, but not Willets. They look more like Dunlins to me.

I was thinking of that. The Dunlins were all over the shore and the willets were in a different part. I thought that they might be to small for willets.

Thank you, I appreciate the ID
