"the other on is a sand piper, I guess" - it's a Sanderling (note the absence of fourth finger! - very clear on your photo). I'm also not very sure what it has on the left leg but it looks more like a cancer. If it's not an oversized parasite (but that long feathers around are calling more for cancer to me...). Nice photos anyway!

And my humble contribution today. I was cleaning/backing files from my comp (long overdue!) when I found this file of Inca Tern. In order to make a jock I would say "I was taking photo of that nice blue sky when that thing photo-bomb me". The truth is that it's a result of bad framing. Only this crop made some sense of the file (otherwise the first Inca Tern registered on Hawaii, I already posted some photos time ago).
The parakeet is from today - nothing interesting but when you have no time to go out you just shoot from the lanai

Our next station was Bacalar, which is a freshwater lagoon and a good place to relax.
The place we stayed was always visited by a little blue heron, who was looking for food on the shore.
The last bird was far away and I have no clue which one it is. Maybe someone can help?
R5 + RF 100-400

Thank you, Alan!
Yucatan peninsula is really a special place. And so many birds there - you would love it. At some beaches the pelicans were fishing just a few meters beside you. Sand pipers and Sanderlings were all around. Crested terns and gulls did let you come as close as 2 meters.
The RF 100-400 is really easy to carry and I'm more than happy with its image quality. Fortunately it arrived just a few days before we left.

There was a tree where we stayed in Bacalar, which was frequently visited by small birds.
I'm hopelessly lost when trying to ID the birds. My guess is some kind if swallow, kiskadee for the yellow one and some kind of woodpecker for the one with the red head.
All with R5 + RF 100-400
