A visit to a local science museum back in October gave me two lifers, though the one I saw most recent would be the Red-Bellied Woodpecker. Not a huge hobbyist, but really cool find for me as it's the second time in my life I've seen a woodpecker. Though in another aspect I saw both Crested and Green Oropendolas for the first time the other day but that doesn't count as they were captive.
