Ok... so here are 2 more from my adventures to the PB County Agricultural fields last Sat 8/18... (SouthEast Florida)

I have looked and looked and just do not have enough info or experience to even make a serious guess on these...
Any help you can provide is GREATLY Appreciated :-) ESPECIALLY what features/characteristics on the birds point you to the ID you make.

#1
short shorebird, yellowish legs, black droopy beak
??? Least Sandpiper ???

Same bird as above to the right of the Ruddy Turnstone.

I think you're right about both of them. That second bird has an awfully heavy base to the bill, but with yellowish legs there aren't too many possibilities, and I can't see Pectoral for this bird.

Thanks for your input and help!!
