Lindsay,
The
top picture is the Pectoral Sandpiper. The cut off from the speckled upper
breast and white abdomen is the most clear feature. The bottom picture is much
harder to be sure and I don't know if the bird in the top picture is
also in the bottom picture. You were there, I wasn't. But on what is reported
already from there and what shows on your picture I suggest they are both
Sharp-tailed Sandpipers.

I am having difficulty sorting out
the sandpipers at Kelly’s Swamp. The two pictures below were taken from
some distance and are not very good but at least they might be enough to shed
some light onto which (if either) is a Pectoral
Sandpiper.
Any advice
appreciated
Lindsay
