Reading the chart

Some names in the chart differ from the common name because the chart follows each state’s law: Iowa’s law, for example, names the eastern goldfinch, the bird many guides call the American goldfinch. For pictures and the story behind each choice, see the national pages on state birds, state flowers, state trees and state symbols.

Questions people ask

Why do some states share the same bird or tree?: Popular choices were often already taken. The northern cardinal is the state bird of seven states, and the sugar maple is the state tree of four.
Where can I find each state's other symbols?: Every state has a symbols page listing all of its official designations, with the year and the law behind each one. The national state symbols page compares them.
