Your images are very nice , but the birds are actually another member of the plover family, Killdeer.  They have a red eye, two black bands and are considerably larger than Semi-palmated Plovers.

Here are a couple of Semi-palmated, one in breeding plumage, an adult in winter plumage, and a juvenile.

regards
