Shorebirds, Sparrow, and Falcon Under Attack

.
Carol and I took a ride to the Muskegon County Wastewater today.  Not much in the line of shorebirds.  I am pretty sure that the first picture below shows a Lesser Yellowlegs on the left and a Stilt Sandpiper on the right.  The shorebirds were in the cell that has been drawn down.
.
The Grasshopper Sparrow was just there.
.
The American Kestrel was minding its own business, eating grasshoppers. Then he decided to land in the wrong neighborhood and the neighborhood bullies were on him like a flash.  The pictures are displayed in the order of the action.

(The "bullies" are a gutsy pair of Red-winged Blackbirds.)
