A Swamp Sparrow responded to my app after I heard a sparrow call that sounded a little different. Very responsive!

Hi everyone! December is winding down, so here are a few of the birds that we're still searching for this month. I've included a location for the last know sighting from my Audobon app (which I believe uses ebird data). If you're looking for a challenge to get you off the couch during these last few days of 2020, give these a shot!:
Mountain chickadee - Zopkios Rest Stop (Coquihalla Rec Area)
Canvasback - Willband
Greater scaup - GBHR, Harrison Lake
Ruddy duck - GBHR, Willband
Ring-necked pheasant - Sumas Prairie (McDermott Rd) FOUND!
Horned grebe - Harrison Lake
Common loon - Kilby (Harrison River) FOUND!
Great horned owl - Sumas Mountain (Whatcom Rd)
Evening grosbeak - How are there none around?
There are more missing birds on the list, but these were the ones with a recent ebird sighting.

It's the final day of December and 2020 (and oh, what a doozy you were). Any final additions to the list for the month? Did anyone manage to find a Great-horned owl, an Evening grosbeak, or a Greater scaup?

A good month everyone. I don't have anything to add other than a Western Grebe from the Agassiz Christmas count and a White-throated Sparrow and Greater Scaup from the Blue Heron Reserve. Thanks Harrier!
