Regarding the passenger pigeon: They thought that one of the big flocks might have hit a huge storm over the great lakes and were lost which really cut into the breeding stock.I can't imagine what it must have been like to have been in a beech forest when several million birds were there feeding on the nuts.It is said that a man could have walked from the east coast to the Mississippi river and never left the cover of trees when this country was first settled. Hard to imagine now.
