Starting with the wildlife refuges. They’re generally not gonna come and perch at your birdfeeder or hang out in your yard.

That said, the state bird issue continues to be a political football. Years ago there was a movement to have the Scrub Jay become our state bird. Then later they put it to the school kids to vote and they chose the Osprey.
