Hi Everyone,
Maybe there's a local historian among the many subscribers to this listserve.
Many municipalities made it illegal to kill birds in town before the federal-level protections went into effect in the 1960s and 1970s. Some towns still have signs up like Welcome to Thisville (Bird Sanctuary).
I wonder if this was the case for State College, and if so, what was done when? Can't seem to find it by Googling and searching the borough code just says that you can't hunt birds in the municipal parks/regs about pets and raising birds.
Any leads appreciated!
Joe
