They are (should be) the ME state bird! My family owns some cottages in Newport, ME and have our own fire district for insurance purposes. My uncle (who lives there full time) bought a '59 American LaFrance pumper and got it all stickered up with EAST MOSQUITOVILLE FIRE DEPT. Always gets smiles at the parades.
