While scoping a Pectoral Sandpiper at the Boathole (on west side of Gurnet point), I saw 4 birds drop into the little pool. I was able to click off a few photos before they flew off heading south. I neglected to note the tail patterns and didn't have time to get my camera on them as they left suddenly. Two of the birds were Lesser Yellowlegs (uncommon while Greaters tend to be very common during migration).

The other two I cannot identify and am routing these photos for assistance. They are essentially the same size as the Pectoral (not the Lesser Yellowlegs) and I am for the moment thinking that one could be a Stilt Sandpiper and the other a Solitary... but I could be completely wrong! See comments on individual photos.
