I'm not sure what species these birds are, but they might be Oyster-catchers (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
(after a couple of comments and further investigation, I now think these are Pied Stilts.)
I was watching them this evening,from Boulder Bank Drive at the North end of Nelson Haven. The ripples you can see on the surface of the water are caused by not rain, they are small fish darting around in the shallow water. These three birds in particular were fishing together, moving in a line like a dragnet.
