These birds seen in Southeast Florida this past week.
each, FL

Are these Solitary Sandpipers? or something else?

Thanks for your help!

According to my Stokes guide: Dark brown back, fine white notches to feather margins, white eye ring and yellowish-green legs. They look like Solitary Sandpipers to me. Very nice pictures, I'm jealous, Mac.
Newest lifers: Black-crowned Night Heron, 228.

Thank you for the confirmation and complement! Another lifer for me :-) I had not seen any of these birds until the last week, then saw them in 3 different locations... must be the right time for them here!
