"The birds"

Challenge #14 in the Highway through the world series. Hosted by embie.

Challenge has finished

No, not the Alfred Hitchcock movie but… Since 1927 every state in the USA has his own bird as a symbol. If you have a picture of such a bird (can be taken worldwide !) which is the state bird of any state in the USA than you can show it here. Everybody is welcome ! Do tell us the NAME of the bird and the STATE it represent. Complete and arbitrary list for state birds can be found on : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_birds
