I love the yellowhammer that occasionally visits the feeder, just breathtaking, every time! And now I know the tale. And tail. It’s usually the little downy peckers that visit and they seem to be flourishing. I’m sure I’ve also broken the songbird feather law (unwittingly) many times but know better, now.
Minnesota's state bird is the Common Loon. They can dive up to 250 feet and fly at speeds greater than 75 miles per hour. We live in a suburb of Minneapolis across the street from a lake. We are blessed that we have a pair of Loons that reside on the lake. Heard them calling the other night when I was outside.
In 1931 the American Robin was designated as the Michigan State bird.
That is an emblematic bird! Love them!

I may or may not have broken the law regarding possession of found feathers, and may or may not continue to do so till my dying days. :)
