“Nevada citizens and school children had little difficulty in arriving at a choice of a State bird, the Mountain Bluebird leading the field in an extended vote during 1929 and 1931. This bird was the nominee of the club women of the State.”
So wrote state bird fan proponent Katherine B. Tippetts in Nature Magazine in 1932. However, the bluebird was’t officially adopted until 1967. It also represents Idaho.
The mountain bluebird is generally found among forests at higher elevations in Nevada.
