The Echoes of their Wings: The Life and Legacy of the Passenger Pigeon
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Cubberley Community Center
(see times)
The Passenger Pigeon probably numbered in the billions, making it the most abundant bird in North America if not the world. Exploitation for food and recreation destroyed the species in the wild by the first few years of the 20th century. On September 1, 1914, Martha, the last of the species, died in the Cincinnati Zoo. Joel Greenberg will explore the story of the Passenger Pigeon and highlight the important lessons that it presents to those of us in the 21st century.
