Note that a state bird is different. For example, if you are in Maryland and you see a Neotropic Cormorant on the other side of the Potomac in Virginia, the Cormorant is NOT a Maryland bird.
For the record, I have seen a Neotropic Cormorant on the Potomac. He was in the Maryland side, however.

The bird can be as far as you can see or hear.
