Pasnger pigeons〔旅鸽once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks〔群so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion pasnger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles <about 515 kilometers> long was en near Cincinnati.
Sadly, the abundance of pasnger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by
the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had ttled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where pasnger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered〔驱散the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be en again.
In 1897, the state of Michigan pasd a law prohibiting the killing of pasnger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been en in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.
