I had to google a couple of answers as well🇺🇸

State Bird ~ Ptarmigan

State Tree ~ Sitka Spruce

State Flower ~ Forget-Me-Not

State Song ~ Alaska's Flag

Each year Alaska has about 5,000 earthquakes including 1,000 that measure above 3.5 on the Richter scale.  Of the 10 strongest quakes ever recorded in the world, three hVe occurred in Alaska😳

Well, we own in 3 states, so I'd have to Google everything.

******* I had the opportunity to visit this great state and spend several months there when I was 17. I have always hoped to come back.  I loved it. It was just so beautiful!

Great thread @jubilant!

State Bird:  Cardinal

State Tree: White Oak

State Flower:  Native Violet

State Song:  Illinois

And on my way to looking these things up I found:

State Amphibian:  Eastern Tiger Salamander . . .

[KathyPet]

Virginia state bird is the Cardinal (evidently a very popular choice)

State flower:  Dogwood.  However the Dogwood is actually a tree which produces that flower.  I know this because years ago there was a movie called "The America President" starring Michael Douglas as the President in love with Annette Benning.   She is from Virginia and when he wants to send her flowers from her state he ends up having a Dogwood tree delivered to her.  Needless to say she was quite surprised to get a tree.

State song is Carry me back to old Virginia (one of the worst songs ever written)

Fun Thread @jubilant!

NJ Capital: Trenton

State Bird: American Goldfinch

State Flower: Viola

State  Dance: Square Dance

Interesting facts: Cape May is the oldest seashore resort in the US, has the most diners, Honey Bee is the State bug, some of the many entertainers, etc: Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springstreen, Jon BonJovi, Whitney Huston, Jack Nicholson and many more

Texas:

Mockingbird;

Pecan;

Bluebonnet;

Texas our Texas.

The original Dallas Cowboy football stadium was built without the roof so that God could watch his favorite team play.  I grew up on that statement and believed with all my young girl's heart. 

I do love Texas and I always felt sorry for the rest of the nation who could not live here with us

@beckyb1012 ~ hey girl, wow...I was thinking about you and wondering how're you doing, and there you are!  Texas gal huh?  Never been, but would love to some day...I replied to this post about Alaska, where I live now.  I'm originally from NY though...have you ever been?
