Re: [cobirds] Re: Confirmed nesting of SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER pair south of Florence

Bill, on the matter of state birds I agree that there is little imagination for many states. However, there may be some justification as Jeanne and I learned in Costa Rica, where the national bird is the very play Clay-colored Thrush. With birds like the Resplendent Quetzal, multiple trogons, ta
