Thank you Aims! Also, my googling informs me the Common Loon is our national bird. Well, that or the Goose, I'm not sure.

My grandparents had a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin and when visiting, at night, I would fall asleep listening to the loons. So cool.

Thanks to all of you, I have tracked down the black and white bird that I see a lot around here, and I think it's a black-billed magpie.

Georgia's state bird is the brown thrasher, a nondescript brown bird that gets its name from thrashing about in leaves to find insects. Georgia also has a state game bird, the quail.

From the story about fandom:
Yeah for star wars it’s definitely the light saber. The extent to which people wield these at conventions, weddings, premiers and jedi-themed bar mitzvahs clearly illustrates the symbolism of this weapon. It’s not a costume but it’s definitely a totem
made me laugh (jedi-themed bar mitzvahs?)
