History
The Carolina Bird Club was founded after the pastor of the West Raleigh Presbyterian Church, John H. Grey, Jr., proposed the creation of a state bird club. The six other founding members were:
- H.H. Brimley, Director of the State Museum
- C.S. Brimley, State Entomologist for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and brother of H.H. Brimley, who together co-authored Birds of North Carolina (Pearson et al., 1919)
- Harry T. Davis, member of the State Museum and later its director
- Carey Bostian, a professor of zoology at North Carolina State College
- Mrs. Green, a member of the Raleigh Woman's Club and nature columnist for The News & Observer
- A seventh person whose name is unknown
After Grey declined the presidency to act instead as secretary, treasurer, and editor, Clement S. Brimley was selected as the club's first president.
