There are just two left for me in the Sibley Guide to Canada and the bits of the USA that count (Hawaii need not apply) – the Olive Warbler (Peucedramidae)and the silky-flycatchers (Ptilogonatidae). I got my first Emus ( Dromaius novaehollandiae ), family Casuariidae, in West Australia back in 2000.
