I'm not a natural at identifying birds, and shore birds are my worst. I photographed these birds rummaging together yesterday by San Francisco Bay. Pretty sure the bigger one is a Whimbrel, but no idea about the smaller ones behind the Whimbrel and as a pair in the other photo. Seems their beaks are too short for Marbled Godwit and too long for anything else I can think of. Thanks for your help!

Thanks to both. I thought that the white forehead on the first indicated non-breeding Common, but I see that’s not the case necessarily.

Is the an Orchard Oriole in this photo? All I see is a warbler.
Wow, took me ages to find any bird at all! Cool shot.

Thanks! That’s a fascinating part of the world you live in. Haha, ravens huh. Now I have to give my daughter the opportunity to say, I told you so. She’ll love it. ?
Western or Least Sandpiper
in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Posted
This bird (seen yesterday by San Francisco Bay) was in close company with a large number of Western Sandpipers you helped me identify. But this bird does not have the jet black legs of those Western Sandpipers. It's legs are yellow-ish, if not yellow, and I'm wondering if it could be a Least Sandpiper. Thanks!
