Northern Cardinal is most popular US. state bird

I recently featured Canada's official provincial birds (none of which are the same) in this space.   Now I am noting some items concerning American state birds which may be of interest.   The Northern Cardinal (pictured above) is the top choice of seven states as official bird.   The Western Meadowlark is the pick of six other states and the Northern Mockingbird is the official bird of five other American states.  There are 27 other common birds that are the choice of the 32 remaining states.   And yes, the Baltimore Oriole is the official bird of Maryland.  Some American territories also have official birds but are not included here.
Please comment if you wish.
