#Birdtober2022 Day 17 - Extinct
In the 1800's, there were over 5 billion Passenger Pigeons in the US.
The last in the wild was shot in 1900. We hunted them to extinction.
The last of the species, Martha, died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. She was 29 years old. In her life, the population of her entire species went from billions to none.
Will we ever learn?

Woke up wanting to paint a Crested Caracara, so I'm claiming this one for the Birdtober Oct. 14 free space. These guys are so curious, intelligent, scrappy and gorgeous all at once - I would love to get to work with them some day!
