Observation details
Pale medium-sized sandpipers; color and patterns match juvenile sanderling in my references, for the one I saw well. Saw one bird moving quickly along behind a killdeer towards rolls of turf; walked slowly that way, scanning, but couldn't see them, assuming they had gone downhill to next field. As I passed the pallets of turf, I surprised them apparently sitting in the shade. Got a few photos and then they flew. The killdeer landed in another field but sanderling circled around, calling, and was joined by another for another circle. Spread tail was near-white with dark centerline/wedge. Photos appear to indicate lack of hind toes. Thanks to James Fox for finding them and sending me right to the spot.
