This one shows the Ohio regulars, each illustration labeled with the bird's name, so the mug doubles as a small field guide you hold every morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn this mug: Northern Cardinal · Blue Jay · American Goldfinch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNorthern Cardinal\u003c\/strong\u003e is Ohio's state bird, and it earns it — cardinals don't migrate, so the reddest thing in an Ohio yard in February is a bird. Look for the pointed crest and the thick orange-red bill; the female wears the same bill in warm buff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBlue Jay\u003c\/strong\u003e is the loud one. Blue above with a black necklace across the throat, it carries peanuts off to cache them and comes back for more within the minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Goldfinch\u003c\/strong\u003e is the reason people call Ohio winters drab and are wrong. Summer males are lemon-yellow with black caps; by December the same bird has faded to olive-buff with black wings, and half the state reports it as a different species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good gift for someone who keeps a feeder, and a better one for someone who has started asking what the birds are called.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe mug.\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 oz white ceramic · glossy finish · comfortable C-handle · dishwasher and microwave safe · lead- and BPA-free · printed to order in the USA, ships in 2–5 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot your state?
