Lucky you, I can remember the annual pilgrimage to the Brecks to see them and wish that it was still as easy. Ah well with global warming maybe I'll be around when the Woodchats colonise.

I can narrow it down to Corvidae, Owls, Eagles et al (Accipitridaes) or Penguins.

...just zis guy, you know?
The parulidae (wood-warblers), all the way.
Not only do they come in all sorts of patterns and colours, they often come six or seven species in the same tree, during migration. Within the temperate parts of the world, at least, there's no experience to compare...

Literally as I read your post there was a WAAWAAWAAWAA of a Sulphie outside the window. Made me think, beg to differ Larry.

Surely has to be a contender for the most unpleasant sound produced by any bird!
Maluridae (Fairywrens, grasswrens and emu-wrens) for me.

Aussies look through Sulphies though they beg to be noticed...
Much good choice for fave. When I was with BF member Jon Turner on Saturday, I remember watching a male Red-backed Fairy Wren hunkering down in some pathetic cover trying to avoid being completely blown away by a light gust. Such ethereal birds!

Kingfishers, Herons and Egrets, Raptors and Owls, Hummers, Storks, Ibis, Cranes.
When I win the lottery and travel the world birding I'm sure I'll add to that list.

I am not sure if I can answer this correctly but my favorites are Grey hornbill, Paradise flycatcher, Black-necked storks, Pelicans, and Blue-tailed bee-eaters. I am someone who just starting to learn about different birds, and my knowledge is somewhat limited. Its nice to your favorite ones. I'll be checking on them too hehe!!!
Surprisingly, I am really amazed by these creatures I am thankful that I have seen them from a beautiful country, Sri Lanka.

Woodpeckers! Runners up: New World Warblers, Herons, and Kingfishers (and we only have one species of these where I live).

Vultures for me, which is a bit of a shame as they aren't exactly common in the UK!

Your favorite birds could be anything you want, be it raptors, birds of prey or just one particular family (like eagles, gulls, hummingbirds, etc.). It is your choice! Good Birding!
