The State Bird of What States?

The American or Eastern Goldfinch have arrived!  Actually, they've been here for quite a while now.  Initially, they were enjoying our Purple Cone Flowers and Catnip.  However, the Sunflowers are now in full bloom, so they're dining on these seeds too.  Busy little birds and a tad skittish but fun to watch.

Name the three states that the Goldfinch is the state bird of?!

The first is a picture of a Goldfinch pair, with the male on the left -


Here the male is flashing his butt to the camera lady - 


The female spies that she's being spied on and photographed -


Answer - New Jersey, Iowa and Washington
