[birdky] New Year's Eve Spotted Sandpiper

I went down to check the Ohio River at the Riverside Marina in Dayton  
(Campbell Co., KY) at about 4:30 PM this evening. While looking  through a 
flock of 
200 Canada Geese at some 20 "Lesser"-sized individuals,  a small sandpiper 
flew in and landed on the bank with the classic bowed-wing  flight of a Spotted 
Sandpiper. It then obligingly landed on one of the docks  right in front of me 
and I got a much better look. It was clearly  a Spotted Sandpiper (in 
unspotted nonbreeding plumage, of  course) bobbing away. I'll have to go back 
down to 
check tomorrow morning  to see if I can get it for New Year's Day as well.
