Louisiana's State Bird is the Eastern Brown Pelican.
Here is the web site if you would like to find out your state bird: http://www.50states.com/bird/ Marly

The state bird for the great state of Illinois is the Northern Cardinal. Our state flower is the wood violet, and our state tree is the White Oak, Quercus alba. I made my boy scouts learn the wood violet and tree as part of our Plant Science and Gardening Merit Badge workshops. Because I'm mean that way ;P

NY state is the Blue Bird not to be confused with the Blue Jay.

Cardinal, but so is KY, when my mom married my stepdad, who is from KY, they alsways argued whenever they saw a cardinal. "That was a KY cardinal, no it was an OH cardinal." Oy Vey |

In case ya'll didn't know, the OFFICIAL state bird of Florida is the SNOW BIRD! [I.E. the loving nickname us native's have given to the retirees from up north that make FL their winter home... the snow bird] :-) Just kidding!
Florida's state bird is the Mockingbird! ...shared by a few other states too, MS, AK, TN, and TX.

Speaking of birds I saw a great movie the other day with Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson in it, called "The Big Year" Got it out of the red box and it was well worth a dollar and change to rent. It's about birding and some life lessons too. |

Meadowlark for Montana- I can barely wait to hear them again this spring- it brings back such great childhood memories :-)

Raised on a farm, and getting back to it! |
