The Passenger Pigeon.....

[gman]

Destry,
Thanks for alerting me to this book. Very informative and sad story. After reading it and visiting the Passanger pigeon web page I vetured about 45 miles south to a place listed on the sight - the Fairbanks Museum in St. johnsbury,Vt. where the site listedthey had a Passanger sample on display. I wanted to see it and kind of pay my respects. I found a well preserved and well presented pair of each sex layed out next to a similar exhibit of Carolina Parrakeets. Well worth the trip.
Later in the day I had a reception elsewhere to go to and there I got talking about the day. I was surprised and bummed that about half the folks I mentioned this to had not heard of the story of this bird. I hope mr Greenburg has great success in getting his words out there to others
Regards
Eric
By the way the research and explanations associated with your picture were a great plus to the story!
