You can park in the main Tiffany Creek Preserve lot and follow the trail to the 
field. Takes about 7 minutes each way to walk. There's a road that creeps right 
along the solitaire habitat, but it's marked as a private drive. 
Here's a very rudimentary map that I marked up with my fat fingers. Also, 
Google Maps isn't very helpful for orienting to the parking lot (I drove by it 
three times). Google Earth is better!
Happy birding,Purbita

the shrubbery in the middle and the peripheral trees? Not that I have time to

DO NOT park on Sandy Hill Road, if you get caught, you will be ticketed.

The Nature Conservancy has a preserve on Sandy Hill Road, close to the
intersection with Berry Hill Road.  Look for a sign on the left as you come
in off of Berry Hill. Follow the long driveway down to the parking lot, and
then walk back out to Sandy Hill Road.

Head north on Sandy Hill Road (away from Berry Hill). The first driveway
you come to as you walk along Sandy Hill on the eastern side of Sandy Hill,
is marked as private property,The field on the northern side of the
driveway is where the solitaire has been seen, and is part of the Tiffany
Creek preserve, so you are allowed to be in that field.  I don't think you
could see the bird from the road, unless it is foraging in the front of the
field, but that does not seem to be where its been seen.

Good luck to anyone who goes!
