This vintage postcard features a beautifully detailed painting of the Oregon State Bird, the Western Meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta), perched on a rustic wooden post overlooking a lush, green landscape with rolling hills, a winding creek, and wildflowers. The artwork was painted by Ken Haag in 1968, capturing the serene natural environment typical of Oregon's picturesque countryside. The card highlights the bird's distinctive yellow breast and intricate feather patterns, set against a dramatic sky with soft clouds. Produced by Capital Engravings in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, this postcard is an original artist card from the late 1960s photochrome era, known for its vibrant color reproduction and crisp detail. It includes a brief informative text about the Western Meadowlark's designation as Oregon's official state bird, chosen by schoolchildren's vote in 1927.
