On our National Holiday here’s a map with each state illustrated by its State Bird.
Web designer Anand Gorantala created this Visualization of US State birds on a map by placing photos of birds into a Wikipedia map file.
Click on the image to see the original with a link to the interactive version.
Test your knowledge: Identify the states and birds. Which bird is most popular? Which birds are non-native? (Tricky!)
Happy Fourth of July.

Hey, that’s fascinating! I wonder if there’s such a thing for Canada?
Do Iowa and Washington state share the same state bird?
Apparently so. The American goldfinch.
