What a great list so far! Canada (Ontario) has great birding, but it would be so exciting to go to another country and see what they have. I don't know if I could contain myself. I remember how excited I got when I saw the Raven in BC...we have them here, but I had to go to BC to see it. I love birding it is such a treasure hunt with a great find each time.
