The Passenger Pigeon.

The passenger pigeon, or wild pigeon,
of America, ranges far to the north aud
south of the United States, and westward
to the Rocky mountains; but is very
rarely met with, except in communities
of millions or billions, requiring for their
roosting place an immense forest, the
trees Of which are soon crushed and
blighted by their weight. This extraor-
binary gregariousness is wholly inexplic.
able.
The home or roosting- place of this
pigeon is selected with reference to the
abundance of beech and oak mast in the
vicinity that is to say, within few hun
dred miles; for it is alleged of them that
they fly at the rate of mile minute.
Indeed, although they digest rice in
twelve hours, food of this kind, which
must have been procured in the fields of
South Carolina or Georgia, has been
found undigested in the stomachs of pas
senger pigeons killed in New York. They
do not regard climate, except as it affects
the supply of food; and only change
their place of resort ON this account, not
withdrawing that men with nets and
guns capture and destroy. them, or rake
their lodging trees with poles, burn sui
phur under them, cut down the trees,
and by various other devices slaughter
them by thousands. Sometime they re-
main in Q region of country for years,
and ere then absent from it a. long. or
until their new range evinces . scarcity
and their former one becomes abundant.
