Eared Grebe (very rare), Black Skimmer, American Pipit, American Bittern, Lincoln's Sparrow, and Bonaparte's Gull. I missed: American Golden Plover and Long-billed Dowitcher. The total for the day was 93, the record is around 110-115. Ebird checklists here:https://ebird.org/checklist/S60593385 and https://ebird.org/checklist/S60593369
