This is the 43rd week of my personal 50-week States of the Union Challenge. Each week I research one of the 50 United States (in the order they attained statehood). I share tidbits of information about the state here on my blog and I create a card that is inspired by something about that state.
This week's state (the 43rd one to attain statehood) is Idaho.
I decided to go with this bit of Idaho information for my card's inspiration... The 485,000-acre Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area was set aside in 1993 to protect the habitat of the densest concentration of large nesting birds in North America. Every spring, over 800 pairs of raptors â including hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons â flock to the Snake River plateau to mate; the crags and crannies of the Snake River gorge provide the perfect place for raptors to guard their young.
You can find more photos/information about both the state of Idaho and my card on my blog...

Terrific personal challenge for gaining knowledge and using creativity. Your cute owl is a wonderful way to represent Idaho based on the things you learned. I especially like the heart and all the polka-dot paper. I look forward to seeing how you represent AZ. TFS
