This vintage postcard showcases the Indiana State Bird, the vibrant Cardinal (Redbird), beautifully painted by artist Ken Haag. Created in 1968 by Capital Engravings of Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, this card features a stunning winter scene with the bright red cardinal perched on a tree branch amidst a snowy rural landscape. The detailed artwork highlights the bird's rich plumage against a serene backdrop of rustic barns and bare trees, capturing the essence of Indiana's natural beauty.

The card measures the standard size of 5.5 x 3.5 inches and is an original, signed by Ken Haag. It includes informative text about the cardinal's status as Indiana's official state bird, designated by the General Assembly in 1933. Collectors and bird enthusiasts alike will appreciate this charming and educational piece from the US State Birds series.
