Wild Pigeons In Nebraska.

a recent report from Nebraska stated
that a flock of from IS to 100 wild, or
passenger. pigeons had been seen in
that state. This will he interesting
news to those who remember the birds
when they lew i'm countless thousands
the spring migrations. Some grizzled
old trappers, who regularly followed
the flight of pigeons and netted them
by thousands per week, have for years
gone on hoping against hope that the
flights of pigeons had merely been di-
Verted from the old routes and that the
birds would some day reappear in all
their former Numbers. This idea OF
course is erroneous The pigeons are
not haunting inaccessible sections OF
the country. They have been destroyed.
During the carly autumn Of 1887 | shot
a lone pigeon, a male of that year, near
the city Of Eau Claire, Wis. and a few
birds aying low near where l had shot

nevertheless due TO the existence of
