At its annual convention North Carolina's State Federation of Women's Clubs had pondered the fact that Alabama has officially adopted the flicker as its State bird, Massachusetts the veery, West Virginia the tufted titmouse. North Carolina was one of only five States without an official bird. That deficiency, concluded the federated ladies, should be supplied at once.
