Some may have read this. Received today this really nice 40 page reprint of the classic 1947 Memorial to the Passenger Pigeon today from the Wisconsin Society of Ornithology, whose journal called the Passenger Pigeon. A perk of filling the IAQ Editor job. It includes the writings on this subject by Wisconsinites Aldo Leopold and Bill Schorger. The well-written obituary by Leopold and personal accounts of large breeding flocks and tons of birds being baited, trapped, shot and packed in drums for sale in Chicago markets as late as 1880 is sad, but compelling reading. A stark reminder on how quickly things can change, given often short-sided, selfish human behaviors that carve great scars across our only planet-heritage.
