    I didn't realize that the lady slipper and loon were Minnesota's flower and bird, but I think so far they are my favorites. Wonderful to be learning these, John. :-)

    More pretty. I wasn't surprised to see Minnesota's state bird was the loon. They're the folks that elected Ventura and Franken.

    I really like 'em....a lot. Birds and Blooms [one of my favorite publications] and these stamps are spectacular.

    Lovely, John. I love the sounds that a loon makes...almost haunting, but very soothing and beautiful. :)

    Some of these birds are favorites. How many states have robins for the state bird or mockingbirds? It's interesting to see the repetition.
