Proud to live in a state that has a non-copycat bird! (Oriole):)

2. Arizona is unique, also. Cactus Wren

:hi:

3. State bird has state name.

South Carolina's state bird is the appropriately named Carolina Wren. Those North Carolina folks blew it by choosing the Cardinal.

Any other state birds with the state name? There aren't a lot of possibilities.

5. Colorado's is the Lark Bunting

I don't know if any other states picked it. I tried to post the picture but it wouldn't work.

10. It reminds me of the red-wing blackbird's color pattern

7. North Carolina is the lamest copycat. It's state flower is also a copycat!

North Carolina state flower = American Dogwood (just like Virginia)
North Carolina state bird = Cardinal (just like six other states)

North Carolina = only state with copycat bird and copycat flower.

Damned Massachusettsians. Oh, wait.....we were Massachusetts for way too many years.
