Shorebirds in Louisville

Some shorebirds I've been seeing lately in Louisville.  Below is the ever-present Killdeer hanging out by a puddle.  The bird below gave me some trouble so I outsourced the ID to some local shorebird experts.  Turns out it is a juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper.  New bird for me!  :)
