In preparation for Joel Greenberg's lecture I posted a brief essay about the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon on the Home page of the GMAS website at:

Comments are welcome.


Hope some of you will be able to attend this talk, which should be both timely and informative.

The passenger pigeon, abundant beyond current imagining, is gone. What can
