Look closely Friends, and you will see,
What the muralist painted is no mystery.
Symbols of our state and a beautiful view.
If you search high and low you will find them here too.
I pull the water right out of the ground. The wind makes me move around and around.
I’m tall and I’m green, there’s a tassel on top. You’ll find lots of me here, I’m Nebraska’s state crop.
I’m Nebraska’s state bird. I’m bossy and loud. If you come in my territory, I’ll yell at you — CHIRP! CHIRP! !
To use me, you must dip my head in some ink. Now that would be messy—don’t you really think?
My legs are so long and my beak is so sharp. I snap up a fish after stabbing its heart!
Official State Mammal is the name they call me. Can you find me hiding way out where I’m free?
I drink from the flowers, a buzzing I make. I’m searching for nectar, I don’t take a break.
I’m glass and I’m metal, on a table I park. You need me, it’s certain, to see in the dark.
I’m golden, well yellow, I make some folks sneeze. Can you find the state flower here—Please?
I’m slow and I carry my house on my back. It’s striped with the colors yellow and black.
Mrs. Aldrich was born the second month of the year. Can you find her birthday where it’s hidden here?
We’re proud of our work, so we signed on the line. Can you find the names of those who made this design?
