Yesterday at ~ 2 pm I stopped at Brown's Bridge, recent site of the 
Stilt Sandpiper. All the birds reported recently were present:
Little Blue Heron imm (good for Ho Co)
Great Egret
Osprey (also rather good for county)
Spotted S'piper 12
Solitary S'piper
Lesser Y-legs 2
Killdeer 15

- *except* Stilt S'piper, the target bird.

I was w/o a scope and could have conceivably missed it; a scope is 
recommended here despite the narrowness of the river. Neither side of 
the bridge affords a particular advantage over the other. This is a 
beautiful spot, full of promise, which I had never been to before in all 
my wanderings. Thanks to the original poster for bringing it to my, and 
everyone's, attention.
