CLOSED: Little Sandpiper's

Sandusky, OH

I have a set of 3 shots taken of Semipalmated Plover's in flight...want to know who the little traveler's are that are flying with them...I,m thinking Least Sandpiper's. Tern shows the shots were one after another.

Probably, though not 100% certain; on plumage I can't rule out summer plumage Sanderling, tho' they're probably too small for that in reality.

There's also a Stilt Sandp in there, toward the left end of the pic.

Thanks Resin! I thought that I should rule out Sanderlings after learning that they breed in the Arctic...I'll keep my eye's out for those...they did come through just as spring began.
