Thanks to some welcome information from Andy Martin (thanks Andy!), I was able to add Spotted Sandpiper to my life list today ( a hitherto obvious omission). The sandpiper was on the edge of the model boat pond at the Germantown Soccerplex as advertised. Cuter than in the pictures and teetering around just as he was supposed to!
 
Also saw 2 Least Sandpipers around the outlet end of the pond,
what appeared to be a Lesser Yellowlegs, but we didn't get close enough to confirm,
Catbird,
Chipping Sparrow,
Song Sparrow,
as well as the myriad of swallows and red-winged blackbirds.
