#Pinktober2025 Day 27: #PassengerPigeon
This is one of the first creatures to introduce humanity to the concept of #extinction
It was a #pigeon that lived abundantly in #NorthAmerica and became a popular source of meat when Europeans colonized the land. (1/2)

Another piece in my series, this time depicting another favorite of mine, being the passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius).

Passenger Pigeon Day, 111 years gone The Passenger Pigeon memorial at Cincinnati Zoo. ‘ _On 1 September 1914, between midday and 1 pm, in the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, Cincinnati, Ohio, a pigeon breathed her last, and with her died her species._ _The pigeon was known as Martha, and the species was the Passenger Pigeon. Amongst all extinctions, this example remains unusual in two respects: the precision with which the timing is known and the overwhelming abundance of the species just a few decades earlier – for, just a few decades before Martha died, the Passenger Pigeon was the commonest bird on Earth._ ‘ Those are the first two paragraphs of my book on the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon (published 2014 – it seems a long time ago). I think of the Passenger Pigeon often, but always on this day of the year. _**A Message from Martha: the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon and its relevance today**_ by Mark Avery is published by Bloomsbury.

#MarkAvery reminds us that it’s 111 years today since the extinction of the last passenger pigeon, a species that just a few decades earlier was the commonest bird on the planet.

Trust me, fam. We're extincting many more species than we're deextincting. #direwolf #passengerpigeon #conservation #conservationbiology #biodiversity

The Beginning of the End for the Passenger Pigeon | Northern Michigan History March 22, 1878, Michigan saw one of the last mass nestings of the passenger pigeon. 50,000 were killed daily—sealing the fate of a species.

📅 On this day in 1878, one of the last great passenger pigeon nestings happened in Petoskey, MI. 50,000 birds per day were killed for months, pushing the species to extinction. A tragic lesson in conservation. 💔 #OnThisDay #MichiganHistory #PassengerPigeon northernmichiganhistory.com/the-beginnin...

About time we got some passenger pigeons on here. Diorama from the Rochester Museum and Science Center #NY. The net was likely used by trappers to capture pigeons. 🪺 #taxidermy #eggs #extinction #passengerpigeon
