What are they?

I am not sure about this pair. I don't see an exact match in my Birds of Oregon book, but would guess they are some sort of Sandpiper. Right? Sure would appreciate a positive ID.

Not sure of the ID, but they are two different species of sandpiper.

I think Semipalmated or Western Sandpiper too - hard to tell them apart, for sure. A fun catch of these little cuties, Vern.

Beautiful shot!

Nice image of the two Vern. my guess is that they are Semipalmated Sandpipers.

Super capture of these beauties! :) ..but do not know what they are.. :P

well caught...sandpipers does seem correct, but the subtle differences between specific types does create ID difficulties..

A fine composition, with superb colors and light. V.

I think you are right about them being sandpipers, but I also tend to get my sandpipers and plovers mixed up.

I'm no expert, but I'll say they are "Least Sandpipers".
Martin Lamoon10-Aug-2015 09:19
They look great, sorry no idea!

Can't help with the ID Vern, but it's a very nice shot of this pair.
