Excerpt from The Journal of the Maine Ornithological Society, Vol. 12: March, 1910 When the Wild or Passenger Pigeons were making their last stand in Maine, it was my good fortune to have a flock of eight or ten pass the season of 1877 in a pine grove close by my home. At that time, although they were becoming scarce with us, millions were breeding in Michigan, and the commonly accepted explanation of their diminished numbers in the eastern States was that the wheat fields of the West had tolled them away. Could I have realized that twenty-five years would have seen the practical extinction of this species I venture to say that my note-book would have furnished me more information regarding this particular flock than it does. Under April 24th, I find the first mention of them included in the following: "Returning to North Bridgton to-day, after an absence of two weeks, I find the following birds common: Loons, Wild Pigeons, Red-winged Blackbirds, Golden-winged Woodpeckers, Chipping Sparrows and Hermit Thrushes."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
