State Birds

While I was surfing around Ye Ole Internet today looking at other people’s blogs on Birding or Bird Watching to see how they do it, I found a few good ideas I’d thought I would share. Someone had posted a list of all the state birds, and I thought what a great idea. I understand that most of my readers know which is their own state bird, but would you know the state bird of Oklahoma? And besides, this is a good way to expand my blog a little bit. Offer a little more information to the uninformed. So while your reading the latest post here at “A Birders Notebook”, and you think to yourself what’s the state bird of Oklahoma. Now all you have to do is click on “State Birds”.

So enjoy yet another little tidbit of info from me to you.
