SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – "Extinct" is a word often associated dinosaurs, woolly mammoths and other creatures that disappeared long ago. However, birds such as the passenger pigeon and Carolina parakeet have more recent, better-documented – and, thus, much sadder – exits from existence.
People can learn about these extinct birds and other extinct and endangered North American birds at two free upcoming programs at the Missouri Department of Conservation's Springfield Conservation Nature Center.
