The only one I've ever seen in my 60+ years was just last month. California Condors (Gymnogyps californianus) soaring over the Grand Canyon. What a beautiful bird!
Seeing one of those is on my list!
I remember seeing black-faced spoonbill.
I can only think of one that I've seen in the wild -- the Critically Endangered Philippine Cockatoo.
They are easy to find in some parts of Wisconsin, especially during the breeding season. If you go to the right nature preserves, you can easily see multiple! My record is seven in one day.
They come to FL occasionally so I'm waiting for some to fly down. Never been to Wisconsin but want to go sometime to see the International Crane Foundation, Circus World, Mount Olympus theme park and Milwaukee.
I have been to all but the theme park, and they are all great.

I was curious about many species of your list being considered as endangered, overall things such as common pochard and atlantic puffin. Are they really considered as Vulnerable?? I wanted to check it in IUCN, but the absoulely horrendous satanic new layout of the IUCN website locked my computer during 20!!!! minutes, so I finally managed to close the page but of course didn't checked the status of these species. Somebody with a connexion able to support the outrageous disaster that is now IUCN website, could tell me if these species are really vulnerable? (and could somebody also put the designer of the new IUCN layout in jail for life?

Oh, thanks my friend! This kinda susprises me, particulally in the case of the puffin, that lives in barely accesible areas without much disturbance and locally are very common. Overfishing is the only danger factor that I could think for them, tough the small fishes that are the diet of the puffin are usually not the target of seafood industry...
Overfishing as well as illegal hunting.
