Should the robin be unseated as Michigan's state bird?

Vote throughout January in IPR's State Bird CAWcus

I’ve been working with Interlochen Public Radio on a fun project asking area leaders and residents which bird they’d like to see adopted as the Michigan State bird. It’s the Robin, but these folks think there’s a better choice, and they make solid cases for “their” bird. Take a listen. They’re quick and inspiring.
