The Top Ten I have yet to see in North America that I must see before the bucket it kicked:

Great Gray Owl largest No. Am. species I haven't seen
Steller's Eider haven't seen any eiders.
Broad-billed Hummingbird last regularly occuring hummer I haven't seen
Red tailed Tropicbird haven't seen any tropicbirds
White-headed Woodpecker last woodpecker I haven't seen
Willow Ptarmigan last state bird I haven't seen
Scarlet Tanager Most colorful species I haven't seen
Kirtland's Warbler Rarest breeding No Am species I haven't seen
Elf Owl Somehow has eluded me for 25 years!!!
Montezuma Quail Cause its cool.

Ask me next month and I would probably have a different list, but this one seems to include those who have been just beyond reach for a while now.

I have mentioned it elsewhere on this same discussion. Anyway, it is a great list and I notice that he has knocked off birds such as the Ivory-billed Woodpecker on the basis that it is probably next to impossible to see it if it even exists. For what it is worth, I tweeted his website yesterday on Twitter. Aaron
