The state bird of Wisconsin, the Robin, is such a graceful creature. The beautiful colors on its chest, flying this way and that with its young. Teaching a new life, and keeping the generation going.
Of all voiced longing and all music heard.
I spread my net for Your bewildering wings,
But wings are wiser than the swiftest hands.
Where a bird sings.
-Celestial Bird, Jessica Powers
I think the robin shows how this beautiful region is like to the US. Just as the robin helps build up its young, so did this region during war times in the US. Many manufacturing happened here, including the auto industry. I don't think we'd be where we are today if it weren't for the physical hounds that built the US.

I really like how you compare the region to the US and how it helped the US during war times. I think that it shows how the people of the division are dedicated to not only their own state or area but to also the country as a whole. This is comparable to New Mexico in our division because they are very in tune with their culture. I also like the poem that is said in the post. It help picture the robin and it sets a tone.
