Audubon wrote the prologue to tragic tale of the passenger pigeon in 1813 when he described the bird as being abundant almost beyond our imagination. The climax of the story occurred about 100 years later in 1914 when the last passenger pigeon died in captivity. Now, 200 years after Audubon described this bird, Jackson’s series bookends the story. We’ve been without passenger pigeons for as long as it took humans to wipe them all out.
