My top three would be:
Anatidae (82 species)
Scolopacidae (55 species)
Laridae (50)
My international birding has been almost entirely restricted to temperate climates (Japan, England, North America, New Zealand, etc). Those families are particularly well represented in those climates, so its perhaps not a surprise those are my top three. I am sure once I finally get a chance at the neotropics Tyrannidae at the very least will get bumped up.
