January 2010 Blockers

Given your location and the time of year, what blockers are you stunned to not yet have on your year list?

For me, my top three: Northern Harrier, Cooper's Hawk, and House Finch. Up until yesterday Great Blue Heron and Belted Kingfisher were on that list, too - stunning!

Not stunned, but have yet to see Redshank and only caught up with Greenfinch a few days ago.

I think you also need some idea of what your list is on at that point in time to give it some perspective - I'm on about 77. But I never do a big start (or even a big list ).
