    3 - Lower left another Ruddy Turnstone? Gulls?

    1-2 - yep, Ruddy Turnstone; with a Dunlin

    3 - yep, andother Ruddy Turnstone; back row of gulls are Laughing Gulls; can't quite make out the front two, possibly Ring-billed.

    4-5 Spotted Sandpiper (winter plumage)

    Resin,

    Thank you. Whenever I look them up after you ID them, I wonder why I didn't figure it out. 4&5 fit the Spotted Sandpiper perfectly.
