There are lots of these on Lake Woodlands, a fresh water lake near Houston, Texas. I think they are sandpipers but not sure. I can provide other views if necessary. Thanks for any help.

Hi Mark, looks like a nonbreeding Least Sandpiper to me. Our smallest sandpiper in North America.

Mia is correct. A great shot of a Least Sandpiper here.
