Ya FT, it's amazing how many birds have become extinct.
My wife bought a book, Birds of NY State published in 1843 at a garage sale for two dollars! It's about 10 inches thick with all colored lithographs that are worth a fortune if you break up the pics in the book, but she has kept it together for it's historical value.
You wouldn't believe the pictures of birds and ducks that were there at the time
and now extinct for various reasons, mostly because of man.
