Frank, thanks for the encouragement to get outside even in wet weather.
Coincidentally you mentioned the Black Neck Stilt- it showed in my Merlin feed, couldn’t locate.

Great crested Flycatcher (finally seen!)
Spotted Sandpiper
Eastern Kingbird
Blue headed Vireo
Wood duck - pair
Mallard - pair
Canada goose - pair
Rock pigeons
About 50 Chimney Swifts
Purple Finch
House Finch
Goldfinch
Let it rain!

In past years, such weather resulted in Red and Red-necked Phalaropes, Black-necked Stilt, Arctic Tern, etc. Check coastal spots as well as inland ponds, lakes, reservoirs, farm ponds.
