Lovely day at the Leslie Spit. Just two birds that I'm unsure of...

Is this a Pectoral Sandpiper?

And are the two smaller birds Semipalmated Sandpipers? (That's bird number one again in foreground)

I would say that you are correct on both accounts, Pectoral and Semipalmated Sandpipers.

Thanks Thomas! Turns out that Pectoral was a lifer. And hey welcome to the board Harleydog! I did see a couple of Spotties out there today, but I noticed that these two little peeps had black legs and bills so I suspected they were something else.  -kris  :D
