We swept up more rare species, perhaps most notably one of the swamp sparrows reported by Keith Condon at Bonelli Park.
Most of the species we've found are from reports that people have sent via email. I've scraped a couple of eBird reports today but haven't had time to check thoroughly yet, so there could be additional species in eBird that we don't know about yet.
We're still missing quite a few common species. Here's the list of species reported during previous counts that we haven't found yet this time:

Please note that there have been other species reported recently such as hooded warbler, blue-headed vireo, black-and-white warbler, white-throated sparrow, and sage thrasher (among others) that we haven't found today. Some of those have been reported in previous years but the thrasher and vireo would be new.
I'll post anothere update on Saturday morning.
Good luck to us,
Lance
