Took Pip out for a walk. I noticed the elderberries are getting ripe so i grabbed some but holy hell the mosquitoes are hungry. No relief from them this year....

I used to have daisy dog. She would start doing all her tricks that she knew the moment she knew the treats were coming out

Longday + So hungry =Fajita friday #foodstr

Found out from the video below -which was interesting to watch- that someone wrote a song about the extinction of the passenger pigeon...

The video mention the affect of the railway and telegraph but didnt elaborate on this. The main extinction driver was caused people locating nesting areas, messaging crews and organizing harvest. Squabs are fat near fledging and easy to catch. So crews harvested the young at colonies from 1860 to 1870 & shipped them via railroad. They were so effective at finding and harvesting all the young that by 1880 there was a massive drop in numbers. Once the numbers declined enough the species became even more vulnerable since there sheer numbers countered predator/mortality effects. Remaining in small numbers ensured their extinction. Fun fact: they only laid one egg. Not sure if they did multiple broods over a season, but anyway fairly low recruitment rate.
