Is that one on the bottom right buffalo skulls?

No. Those are dead birds. Shows you the magnitude of the slaughter.

Where did you get the picture? I'd be interested in looking at the website it came off of.

Interesting,they just put a passenger pigeon on display at the Sugarland's Visitor Center in Gatlinburg, it is supposed to be the last one alive that died at the Cincinnati zoo.

If it is ol' Martha she's traveling a lot more now than when she was alive.

I thought I'd seen that photo before, go back to the site and read the caption. It's buffalo skulls for sure.

Here's a lot clearer version of it:

OMG.... It looked like dead birds to my unaided eye. That's even worse than a giant pile of dead birds.

Correction, the passenger pigeon on display in Gatlinburg, TN. is a male and is from 1856. It has been kept in the park's natural history collection. The article with it tells the story of Martha, the last passenger pigeon in existence that was kept at the Cincinnati Zoo. The pigeons went from billions to extinct in a relatively short time due to shooting and robbing nests for the young birds which were considered a delicacy. Hard to imagine that happened. Sept. 1 was the anniversary of the death of the last pigeon, Martha.
