First shot looks like Dunlin in flight. Is the second from the same group. Looks more like a Stilt Sandpiper. Not 100 percent the bill on the second bird looks pretty straight.

It would be interesting to know how large the bird was may be a Godwit photos fo not show size. The bill looks quite long.

Bill though not slightly upturned at base, I will bow to more experts

It's a Short-billed Dowitcher.
I'd guess Semipalmated Sandpiper for the flock
