Is your state bird a stupid state bird?

Whoa. He called Arizona's Cactus Wren "boring". Granted, we gotta lotta birds and I'd love to see the Elegant Trogon as our state bird. Considering that it's so damned rare most people have never seen one, that isn't going to happen. The Vermillion Flycatcher is pretty awesome too. Just thankful it isn't the Roadrunner. HATE them. They are mean.

Enjoyed the article!

I think it went, "Roadrunner, the coyote's after you; roadrunner, if he catches you, you're through!"

He didn't have any advice for Missouri, but I'd chose the Blue Heron or Great Egret because Missouri is part of the Mississippi River Flyway, and they are cool, distinct birds that migrate along the flyway.

If not that, Missouri should get the kestral. Kestrals are my favorite hawks and there are a lot of them around here in the winter.
