Tough angle, one most of us don't deal with much. I seem to see yellow feet on the middle bird, and there seems to be quite a bit of dark on the underwing. Coupled with the strong wingstripe, I'm thinking Least, but I wouldn't be surprised to be wrong.

Bill looks to small for Dunlin. Shape and coloring not right for Sanderling. That would leave the peeps. I wouldn't be surprised if these were Least or Semipalmated Sandpipers. Westerns shouldn't be showing up this early.
