The US is a big country and it depends on where you are. Usually, expression of patriotism is directly correlated to the number of dualies found in that region.
Anywhere you go, in any country, you are going to find a subset of rabid nationalists.
In my experience, Canadians living in the US are more prone to express their own patriotism by hanging American and Canadian flags. (That is just my experience and also shouldn't be considered a constant.)

Definitely depends where you are. Lots of big cities, regions, or states will tend to identify as from those places first. Here in Chicago people generally identify as Chicagoan and you'll see many more Chicago flags than American flags. But that's also in part because our flag is the best flag ever.
For anyone who (like me) wanted to know what the Chicago flag looks like:
