Title: 3 RFI from Osprey Marsh

This bird looks like what was identified in a recent posting as a Semi-Palmated Sandpiper.  There were some Least Sandpipers in the area, so I'm not quite sure.

Is this a juvenile something?

This one has me stumped.  It was about the size of a Lesser Yellowlegs (which were nearby), but a little thicker with shorter legs.  Dark eye almost makes me think Plover.  Sorry for the poor quality.

I'm thinking the juvenile bird maybe a cedar waxwing, but I don't have a clue about the shorebirds.
