Hi Everyone!

Here are the last two shore birds that I haven't photographed before here on Avery Island. No doubt they have been here much longer than I have--I just haven't seen them before. Any help with identification is greatly appreciated! And Happy New Year to all!

Best, Pam

1) I think this is some kind of Sandpiper, but I can't figure out exactly which one:

2) I am almost sure this one is a Killdeer:

    Greater Yellow Legs and I think a Killdeer but it looks different than adults here. Might just be the pose. Happy New Year Pam
