The Ruffed Grouse.
The Pennsylvania Assembly adopted the Ruffed Grouse as the Commonwealth's official state bird on June 22, 1931. Mrs. Harry J. Shoemaker, from the State Federation of Women's Clubs, played an instrumental role in the bird being named the official bird of Pennsylvania. Not much is known or documented why the Ruffed Grouse was named the state's bird. Possible reasons for the adoption of the Ruffed Grouse is the bird being strong, able to survive harsh winters, and was a food staple for many Pennsylvania settlers.
