The diverse experiences vividly described in this book reveal the passion, dedication, and sense of adventure shared by those who study these majestic birds and strive for their conservation.

become ‘as dead as a Dodo”, while many others are now critically rare.  Extinction is a natural part of the evolutionary process, but the primary cause of the great majority of extinctions in the last

Passenger Pigeon are discussed in detail, with the aim of establishing general principles that can be of help in the conservation of endangered species.  The author’s primary interest in birds as an
