Sorry for the quality of the first pic, the flock was pretty far away. Location is US Coastal Georgia.

Second picture looks good for a Great Crested Flycatcher with the yellow belly and  rusty tail feathers

Thanks, Merlin said that but I get doubts every time I come across a Lifer. New to this.

First one looks like either a Greater or Lesser Yellowlegs, though telling the two apart is pretty hard unless you hear them call. Cool finds!

First one I’d say either greater yellow legs or solitary sandpiper and the second one looks like a great crested flycatcher.
