Some aren't really that rare but require visiting specialized habitat. Some of the worst misses so far include glaucous-winged gull, marbled godwit, LeConte's thrasher, golden eagle, burrowing owl, Clark's nutcracker, Williamson's sapsucker, ruddy turnstone, surfbird, all the shearwaters, and most of the alcids. If you've seen any of those, please let me know! Thank you, Lance Lance BennerPasadena _._,_._,_
