Is there any bird (or animal) you hope to see irl someday that you haven't already?

SO MANY!!!!

My dream is to someday see an albatross but I really like birds! I have a small list of birds I really passionately want to see in the wild including: flamingo, roseate spoonbill, cardinal, and puffin. But there are a ton of birds I think it would be cool, if not entirely responsible to look for as well. Like I'd love to see a potoo or a nightjar, but I don't like the idea of disturbing them

There are a lot of animals native to the Pacific Northwest that I would love to stumble across as well, hopefully from a safe distance. Wolves, wolverines, certain snakes and frogs and newts and salamanders, porcupines, cougars, orcas, sturgeon, etc

I have been fortunate enough to see humpback whales, elk (on a beautiful misty plain on the Oregon Coast), salmon, seals, sea lions, and an albino deer in the wild!

#uh oh you got me yapping #i was fortunate enough to live by a zoo growing up so ive seen a lot of animals!#the one near my home is famous for its cheetah-breeding program so ive seen tons of cheetahs.#obviously it's different when theyre in captivity but i recognize what a privilege it is #it's a drive through zoo so you can really close to a lot of herbivores #they have these adorable sika deer you can hand feed #and a bunch of african deerlike creatures i dont remember the names of #AND DIK DIKS!!!!!#delphi washington #ask
