Different Birds and State Symbols

 I decided to do this post
after reading Sheri's post
and she mentioned quail
that pass through her yard.

She spoke of them havind
a feather that sticks out
in the top of their
head. That made me think
that ours do not have that.

Here is a Bobwhile Quail
that lives in Tennessee.

This is a Red Quail that also
lives in Tennessee.
No feather on the top
of the head.

And here is a quail from
California.


Interesting!!!

The difference in those
birds reminded me of
when I was in the 
Palomar Mt in 
California in 
2018. At that time
I saw the funniest 
looking blue bird.
I asked Cory about it and 
he told me it was a 
Blue Jay.
WOW...
not anything like
a Tennessee Blue Jay.

Sheri also mentioned that 
the quail was Calif state
bird so that gave me this
idea.

How about you all 
fill me in on what your
state symbols are.

Tennessee State bird is
the Mockingbird.

Our state flower is
the iris.

Our state wildflower is
the Passion Flower.


State Tree is 
the Tulip Poplar


The flowers on a Tulip
Poplar.


State wild animal is the 
raccoon.


State fish, smallmouth bass.


State insect is 
the Ladybug
 

State reptile
is the Eastern Box Turtle.


and our state gem is 
the Tennessee
River Pearl.


Can you tell me off
your head what is
your state symbols?
Only ones I as not sure
about was our tree and 
the reptile. 

Fill me in....
teach me something,
Pam

No idea, really. I only know the state flower, but it looks like Sandee's got me covered.

Liz cracked me up. :) I know the state bird is the cardinal and flower is carnation. But that is as much as I know. Thanks for sharing. I may have to look up the rest. Some of these categories are unfamiliar! Best wishes, my dear.

Oh, your state insect is the Ladybug? I absolutely LOVE them, and they are so special to me. And you mentioned our state bird on here, the Quail. Aren't they funny? I just love seeing them cross my lawn every day. Thanks for mentioning me on your post, Pam. It was so interesting to hear all about Tennessee's state flowers and such. Here in California, the state flower is the orange Poppy. I see them growing wild on the edges of the countryside. They're so pretty, but we can't pick them. I've seen that Passion Flower on a friend's blog that lives in Florida. It is so unusual and beautiful. Thanks for the fun post, Pam. Isn't that raccoon the cutest thing? : )

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
