Missing Animals of Ohio

Carolina Parakeet Conuropsis carolinses extinct c. 1914
The last passenger pigeon died in September 1914 and before the month was
out the last Carolina Parakeet fell from it's perch in it's nearby enclosur=
e
in the Cincinnati Zoo. The only parrot native to the U.S. we can blame its
demise on habitat destruction, feather trade, sport, meat and the pet
market. Farmers considered the bird a pest. Our trees used to shimmer green
and yellow with the flocks of parrots but now they are no more.

Eastern Wood Bison -Bison bison pennsylvanicus- extinct c.1825
Throughout the eastern woodlands and as far south at least as Georgia lived
a large bison, very dark with not such a hump as the plains bison. Its
demise was due to hunting and habitat destruction; especially deliberate
fires, which left them without any grazing land.
By 1790 they had been reduced to one herd numbering 300-400 animals in
Pennsylvania. They were slaughtered in the "Sink", a large hollow in the
White Mountains of Union County in the dreadful winter of 1799-1800. The
following year a bull cow and calf were seen in the same county. The bull
(shot the next year) was the last known in the state.
A few stragglers remained in West Virginia, one killed near Charleston in
1815 but none others were reported until 1825 when a cow and a calf were
killed at Valley Head, the source of the Tygart River. These were the last
Eastern Wood Bison in the U.S.
Some Wood Bison were preserved in Canada until WWII when they interbred wit=
h
plains bison that were introduced to "strengthen" the herd. There is rumore=
d
to be some left in the Northern Territories.
Eastern Elk- (wapiti)-Cervus Canadensis Canadensis, extinct since 1877.
Really a giant form of European reindeer, the eastern elk was numerous and
extensive, being the most widespread of all american hoofed animals. As one
authority pointed out their enormous range could be mapped by plotting the
cities, counties, creeks and rivers named after it. But by the beginning of
the nineteenth century human population pressures, loss of habitat, demand
for meat and the sport in the east of running down the elk on horseback had
taken its toll.
It had already vanished north of the Canadian border but it was the fetish
of elk teeth used as insignia by the fraternal order of elks, which caused
the exacting toll. The famous half-breed elk hunter Jim Jacobson shot the
last pure eastern elk on September first 1877 in Pennsylvania.


Passenger Pigeon -Ectopistes migratorious extinct c.1914
The most numerous bird on earth it represented about 40% of all the birds i=
n
the U.S. In 1870 the species was already diminished when a flock 1 mile wid=
e
by 320 miles long passed Cincinnati. James Audubon traveling next to the
Ohio River watched a column of the birds and described them =8A "so that the
light of the noonday sun was obscured as if by an eclipse". This lasted the
whole day and for 3 more days subsequent flocks followed.  One breeding
ground in Kentucky was several miles long by 40 miles wide. Audubon reporte=
d
an incredible din and branches two feet in diameter broken by masses of
birds upon birds as they descended onto their roosting site.
Demand for cheap meat was phenomenal and professional pigeon hunters used
the innovations of telegraph and railroad to follow the flocks. Stool pigeo=
n
decoys, pigeons with their eyes sewed shut and nailed to a post, lured thei=
r
quarry. The last great nesting flock came together in 18 96 near Bowling
Green Ohio. Hunters descended from afar and out of 250,000 birds 200,000
were taken. Shipped in boxcars the train derailed and the wasted birds were
dumped into a ravine.
Martha, the last passenger pigeon died in the Cincinnati zoo in 1914 at 29
years of age.
