Each state in the United States has designated an official

"State Bird", and trying to see each state's bird while in that

state can be an exciting way to keep your family Samantha Lingerie alert to the

environment while traveling. Some are very easy, others are quite

a challenge. Here is a list of the Official State Birds of the

United States, and some tips on how every member of your family

can find and recognize them.



There is also a similar list of [ Canada's Provincial Birds ]----------Look for these letters for more clues:

C = Easy to identify from a moving CAR,

F = Common around FEEDERS,

H = Easier to find if you HEAR them first,

S = Present in SUMMER only,

T = Also common in TOWNS.-----------[ ] ALABAMA ::: Yellowhammer. - C T -

The Yellowhammer is an old common name for the bird that

is now known as the Northern Flicker. It is a member of

the woodpecker family, but seldom hammers like one. It is

more often found on grassy lawns. In flight along the road,

watch for its vivid white rump above the tail. It's the most

dull colored Samantha Lingerie woodpecker--look for its black necklace and

mustache. The only place it's yellow is under the wings.[ ] ALASKA ::: Willow Ptarmigan.

The ptarmigan is a grouse-like gamebird that turns white

in winter. It's wings remain white all year---look for a

black tail, which separates it from the similar White-tailed

Ptarmigan. Both occur in highland tundra, but the Willow

Ptarmigan prefers the cover of willow stands.[ ] ARIZONA ::: Cactus Wren. - T H -

By far the largest American wren, the speckly, long-tailed

Cactus Wren poses openly on low shrubs in dry gardens and

campgrounds and delivers a loud, unmusical ratchety

machine-like song. They are very tame, and live only in

the southern half of Arizona.[ ] ARKANSAS ::: Mockingbird

An easy bird to see,Samantha Lingerie the Gray-and-white Robin-sized

Mockingbird flies with flashy white patches on its wings.

It's the first bird to start singing in the morning, often

sings at midnight, and likes to sit out in the open,

flitting from one nearby perch to another.[ ] CALIFORNIA ::: California Quail. - C -

Watch roadsides near sunrise or sunset for these little

birds, often seen in groups dashing comically for cover,

with their heads high. They are the running birds you'll

see that seem to have no tails. They occur only in the

foothills and the nearby desert scrub of California.[ ] COLORADO ::: Lark Bunting. - C S -

This mountain state's bird is most typical of the flat

grasslands of eastern Colorado, where you will see them

flying up from the roadside as you pass. It's a very

noticeable coal-black sparrow with big, flashy white wing

patches. They move south for the winter.[ ] CONNECTICUT ::: Robin. - C S T -

Perhaps America's best-known bird, easy to see and identify.

Usually the first bird to start to sing in the morning, and

the most common bird of town lawns, but they leave in winter.[ ] DELAWARE ::: Blue Hen Chicken

These do not occur in the wild.[ ] FLORIDA ::: Mockingbird. - C T -

(See Arkansas)[ ] GEORGIA ::: Brown Thrasher. - C T S H -

This bird is more easily heard than seen. He'll sing a

phrase of 2 to 4 unmusical notes, then repeat them almost

exactly...then another pair of perfectly repeated phrases,

each pair different. The thrasher is a cousin of the

Mockingbird, beautiful cimmanon brown with a speckled

white breast.[ ] HAWAII ::: Nene (Hawaiian Goose)

This endangered bird is almost extinct, mostly now in zoos.[ ] IDAHO ::: Mountain Bluebird. - C S -

Watch the telephone wires in meadows and open range-lands

for this bird, easily recognized by its light blue breast

and sky-blue upper parts. In winter, they leave Idaho.[ ] ILLINOIS ::: Cardinal. - C T H F -

This bright, crested red bird can't be missed if you see

it fly across the road, but can be harder than you think

to locate among green leaves in a tree. You'll know

they're there by their shrill "what cheer, what cheer,

what cheer" song. In winter, easy to find at feeders

stocked with sunflower seeds. The female is brown with

just a reddish tinge on the wings and tail.[ ] INDIANA ::: Cardinal - C T H F -

(See Illinois)[ ] IOWA ::: American Goldfinch - C T F -

A very small bird with a fast undulating flight, their

bright yellow gives them away, looking almost white in

bright sun.Samantha Lingerie The cap, wing and tail are black. In winter,

common in yards with feeders. Always in flocks,

preferring weedy or flowery fields. Females are duller.[ [ KANSAS ::: Western Meadowlark - C -

When the Meadowlark flies up off the roadside, it looks

like it has two shiny nickels balanced on the corners of

its tail. Then it soars frisbee-like down into the

roadside field. It has a lovely bubbly song, quite

unlike the slow "see me, see you" song of the otherwise

identical Eastern Meadowlark. Listen to be sure its a

Western.[ ] KENTUCKY ::: Cardinal - C T H F -

(see Illinois)[ ] LOUISIANA ::: Brown Pelican

You'll have to go down to the Gulf to see this bird

perched on piers. They never venture inland into fresh

water. Easiest to find at Grand Isle and Cameron. They

are now quite common again, but they were recently on

the endangered list.[ ] MAINE ::: Chickadee - F H T -

It's easy to imitate their summer call---two long

whistled notes, the second one lower than the first.

All year, listen for the raspy, hissy "chicka-dee-dee-dee"

and watch around feeders. In summer they will come and

investigate if you say "pssst pssst psssst" loudly when

they are nearby. Tiny birds with a big head and black cap

and white bib. The brown-capped Boreal Chickadee is also

in the coniferous forests of northern Maine, and the

state does not specify which is the official bird.[ ] MARYLAND ::: Baltimore Oriole - T S F -

You can't miss the bright orange breast of an oriole

flying across an opening in parks or open forests, but

hard to see in leafy trees. Not a common bird, and gone

in the winter. Listen for its rich, piping whistled

phrases that it repeats a few times. They come to feeders

where oranges or grape jelly Samantha Lingerie attract them.[ ] MASSACHUSETTS ::: Chickadee. - F H T -

(see Maine, but only the Black-capped is in Massachusetts)[ ] MICHIGAN ::: Robin. - C S T -

(see Connecticut)[ ] MINNESOTA ::: Common Loon - S H -

May look like a duck at first, but they ride lower in the

water, with their bill pointed more upward, and you

usually see only one of them. No duck has the loon's

checkered pattern on its back. Sometimes quite tame on

Minnesota lakes when not nesting. Their eerie yodeling

call is often heard at night across a lake.[ ] MISSISSIPPI ::: Mockingbird. - C T -

(see Arkansas)[ ] MISSOURI ::: Eastern Bluebird - C S -

Watch for small groups of them on overhead wires in

open country with just a few big trees nearby.

This red-breasted bird with the hunched

posture is being rescued by farmers, who put a row of

next boxes on each telephone pole, 6 feet up. These

boxes are often a clue to the presence of Bluebirds.[ ] MONTANA ::: Western Meadowlark. - C H S -

(See Kansas, but Eastern Meadowlark not in Montana)[ ] NEBRASKA ::: Western Meadowlark. - C H S -

(See Kansas)[ ] NEVADA ::: Mountain Bluebird. - C -

(see Idaho, but they stay for the winter in Nevada)[ ] NEW HAMPSHIRE ::: Purple Finch. - - -

This bird is much less tame than the similar House Finch,

which is very common around towns and farmhouses. In the

country well away from people, look for the wine-colored

head and a breast with red all along the sides, not just

on the center of the breast. The females in the flock will

be brown, with streaky breasts. They stay all winter, but

avoid feeders.[ ] NEW JERSEY ::: Eastern Goldfinch. - C F T -

(see Iowa)[ ] NEW MEXICO ::: Roadrunner. - C -

Very unpredictable. Looking like a smallish pheasant, you

may see them running with long strides across roads

everywhere. Then, you might cross the entire desert and

not see a single one. They do not beep. This member of

the Cuckoo family is less common in New Mexico than in the

other southwestern states.[ ] NEW YORK ::: Bluebird. - C -

(see Missouri, but much rarer now in New York)[ ] NORTH CAROLINA ::: Cardinal. - C F H T -

(see Illinois) North Carolina also has a "Summer

Redbird"---the Summer Tanager, which lacks the crest

and the thick bill of the Cardinal.[ ] NORTH DAKOTA ::: Western Meadowlark. - C H S -

(see Kansas, but Eastern Meadowlark does not occur in N.D.)[ ] OHIO ::: Cardinal. - C F T H -

(see Illinois)[ ] OKLAHOMA ::: Scissortail Flycatcher - C S -

This impressive bird has two long tail feathers longer

than the bird itself, and is a fairly common sight on

telephone wires through the summer, but female and late

summer young birds will not have the long tails.

An unmistakable and unforgettable bird.[ ] OREGON ::: Western Meadowlark. - C H -

(see Kansas, but Eastern Meadowlark is not in Oregon)[ ] PENNSLVANIA ::: Ruffed Grouse. - - -

A woodland bird, sometimes feeding along quiet roadsides

in early morning or near evening. A walk in the woods

may flush one, which will startle you with the roar of

its wings. It is the only Grouse-like bird in the state.[ ] RHODE ISLAND ::: Rhode Island Red

This Chicken does not occur in the wild.[ ] SOUTH CAROLINA ::: Carolina Wren. - T H -

A noisy bird, listen for its loud repeated "tea-kettle,

tea-kettle, tea-kettle", even in town gardens. In the

low underbrush, they may come out to peek at you if you

"pssst-psssst" at them. If you get a good look, try to

see the vivid white eye-brow that distinguishes the

rusty-colored Carolina from the House Wren.[ ] SOUTH DAKOTA ::: Ring-necked Pheasant - C -

This game bird was introduced from Asia. You can't miss

the male, with its long tail and dark head with big red

patch. They frequent roadsides, using the gravel grit to

help them digest their food.[ ] TENNESSEE ::: Mockingbird. - C T -

(see Arkansas)[ ] TEXAS ::: Mockingbird - C T -

(see Arkansas)[ ] UTAH ::: Sea Gull (California Gull) - C S -

The gull was chosen because flocks of gulls saved the

crops of early settlers by eating a locust invasion.

In Utah, you might see Herring Gulls in winter over most

of the state, but the similar California Gulls nest near

the Great Salt Lake in summer. Several other gulls

migrate through in spring and fall, but the California

Gull is believed to be the historically praiseworthy

species.[ ] VERMONT ::: Hermit Thrush. - H S -

This thrush looks like a smallish robin with a white ring

around its eye, and big dark spots on its white breast.

They feed well hidden on the ground in the forest, but

you are sure to hear their haunting song that sounds like

two flutes being played together, in a series of rising

phrases.[ ] VIRGINIA ::: Cardinal. - C T F H -

(See Illinois)[ ] WASHINGTON ::: Willow Goldfinch. - C F -

Old local name for Eastern Goldfinch (see Iowa)[ ] WEST VIRGINIA ::: Cardinal - C T H F -

(see Illinois)[ ] WISCONSIN ::: Robin - C T S -

(see Connecticut)[ ] WYOMING ::: Meadowlark. - Samantha Lingerie C S H -

(see Kansas, but Eastern Meadowlark is not in Wyoming)
