Birdorable Bonanza Retrospective

We had a lot of fun doing the Birdorable Bonanza last month and will definitely do it again once. Until our next bonanza we'll continue to add new species on a regular basis as usual. We still have quite a few suggestions and special requests on our list of birds to do. Here's a Birdorable retrospective of the 17 birds we added. Which one is your favorite?

They are all great, but I'd have to say the Ibis, closely followed by the Starling. :-) I feel so spoiled now, though. I find myself looking for new birds, even though the bonanza is over... So I'm really looking forward to the next addition!
