Hey Peter, I had an additional 3 species (Laughing Gull, Northern Rough-winged Swallow, and of course Clapper Rail) when I came back into the park in the afternoon for the Rail, so ~85 species on the day, plus a bunch of other easyish ones that I personally missed must've put Prospect close to, if not over, 100 for the day.
