    Oklahoma is a very interesting one, with a scissor-tail and mistletoe, which I didn't even know is a flower. I thought it was a parasite! :-)

    John, I like the flycatcher. So just how many states have a cardinal as the state bird? There have been many so far, and I thought my home state of Illinois was the only one.

    Oh I do like the flycatcher! I think some of the birds I have seen in more than one state. I do like that our (California) bird is the quail, you don't see that one too often either.

    And a Happy St. Patricks day to you. There are still more of my favorites today. I cheer for the meadowlark and the prairie Rose.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, John :)
    Love the last one this time.
    The first one is too yellow, and I've seen
    enough cardinals so far.
    So thumb up for the pretty flycatcher! :))
    Have a nice and green day

    What a lovely St. Patrick's Day postcard! I love that scene. It looks so cosy & homely. The birds too are all so pretty. I hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day, John.
