Seen these guys a couple days before this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7560099 Thought they were the same birds at first but the plumage is a little different.

Thanks for the id help 1Sarah2! I think Solitary sandpiper is it! The beak matches closer and they were a bit smaller than I would expect a Lesser Yellowlegs to be. Not a bird I'm used of seeing here, guessing they are just visiting.
Checkout the Solitary Sandpiper and the Lesser Yellowlegs. http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/425/_/Solitary_Sandpiper.aspx http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/486/_/Lesser_Yellowlegs.aspx
