The Passenger Pigeon Monument (Wyalusing State Park, Wisconsin) By Steve Jones

"Dedicated to the last Wisconsin passenger pigeon shot at Babcock, Sept. 1899. This species became extinct through the avarice and thoughtlessness of man. Erected by the Wisconsin Society For Ornithology"

Finished my painting just in time for the 109th anniversary of the Passenger pigeon's extinction. Here's a male specimen sitting in on a branch of an American Chestnut Tree, a species that suffered a similar decline at the same time as Ectopistes migratorius

"There will always be pigeons in books and in museums, but these are effigies and images, dead to all hardships and to all delights. Book-pigeons cannot dive out of a cloud to make the deer run for cover, nor clap their wings in thunderous applause of mast-laden woods. They know no urge of seasons; they feel no kiss of sun, no lash of wind and weather; they live forever by not living at all."

Aldo Leopold, 1947

Have you seen a Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius)?

I have seen a dead one/a taxidermy

I don’t know if I’ve seen a dead one/a taxidermy

I’ve only seen photos, never seen in person

I’ve never heard of this animal
