12. Why is this year's Early Bird mascot the Western Meadowlark?
In honor of Spirit of Nebraska's 100-Year Anniversary, we selected the Nebraska state bird as this year's Early Bird mascot!
Nebraska officially designated the Western Meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) as its state bird on March 22, 1929, after it won a popular vote conducted by the Nebraska Ornithologists' Union. The bird was a natural choice due to its presence across the state's vast prairies and its distinct, flute-like song that greeted early pioneers. Today, it remains a cherished symbol of the Great Plains, sharing the "state bird" title with five other states.
