Carolina Wren on SC quarter! (fwd)

Forwarded from Birdchat.  Looks like they've learned a lesson and aren't 
going to put Yellow Warbler (?) on the quarter (as they did the license 
plates)...

South Carolina is going to be the first state to include the State Bird on 
the reverse side of the quarter! Here is the link:

Two options are shown for South Carolina, but the one with the Carolina Wren 
has been selected by the Governor.  Wish that more states would follow SC's 
example and include their State Birds in their designs.  Pity that 
Pennsylvania did not choose the proposed design that had the Ruffed Grouse on 
it.
