I am at Brown's Bridge several mornings a week with 10x42 binocs, and
generally don't want anything more. The field/thicket area is fairly long,
but the vantage points from the mowed path are convenient enough. The
reservoir isn't very straight on that end, so you won't have too much need
for the extended range of a scope. The fields and reforestation areas run
all the way up to the shoreline so excellent views and access to the
mudflats can be attained without the need to view or walk down the length of
the shore
Certainly this isn't to say a scope wouldn't help, but is definitely not
necessary.

Norm, Bonnie:
How important is having a scope at the Brown's Bridge area? Is
it
worth taking a drive there without one?
