Note: Prior to 1939 "The Carolina Wren" had been unofficially recognized as the State Bird of South Carolina. In 1939 the General Assembly passed an Act (No.311) designating the Mockingbird as the official Bird of the State. Act No. 693, 1948 (1962 Civil Code, Sec.28-2) was passed repealing the 1939 Actinide designating the Carolina Wren as the official State Bird instead of the Mockingbird.
