Passenger pigeons (once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable
numbers.Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (so large that
·实践
they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point,there were more than 3
billion passenger pigeons-a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the
United States,making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world.Even as late as 1870 when
their numbers had already become smaller,a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles
(about 515 kilometers)long was seen near Cincinnati.
Sadly,the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing.Where the birds
were most abundant,people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the
thousands.Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain,waited until pigeons
had settled to feed,then threw large nets over them,taking hundreds at a time.The birds were
shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the closing decades of the 19th century,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons
nested had been damaged by American's need for wood,which scattered (the flocks and
forced the birds to go farther north,where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to
their decline.Soon the great flocks were gone,never to be seen again.
In 1897,the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but
by then,no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years.The last confirmed wild pigeon
in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County,Ohio,in 1900.For a time,a few birds
survived under human care.The last of them,known affectionately as Martha,died at the
Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1,1914.
