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.
