When submitting eBird observations at Ned Houk Park, it is most helpful to start a new checklist for each hotspot in the park. Use the general hotspot when you have a checklist that includes multiple locations or if no other hotspot or personal location is appropriate for your sightings.

Long-billed Curlew, Northern Harrier, Ferruginous Hawk, and Grasshopper Sparrow have all been reported on multiple lists. Willow Flycatcher has been reported as both a spring and fall migrant.
