OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN 
Not many years ago the Passen¬ 
ger Pigeon was here in countless 
numbers. Wonderfully prolific, 
having the forest of the north as 
its breeding ground, traveling 
hundreds of miles in search of 
food, it was here today and else¬ 
where tomorrow. Today they are gone; the last 
Passenger Pigeon died in 1914 in the Cincinnati zoo. 
Now the Heath Hen, their numbers have also 
dwindled away. In 1916 there were estimated about 
2000 Heath Hens, in 1928 there remained about 
three. 
WILL THE WILD DUCK GO? 
What is happening to our supply of Migratory 
Waterfowl ? Officials state that drastic measures 
must be taken to save our Wild Duck and other 
Game. Drainage, drought and other causes have 
reduced the shallow water area, taking away their 
feeding and breeding grounds. Lately on the few 
remaining attractive places which abound in natural 
foods larger numbers of Wild Ducks congregated 
than for many years. 
Do your bit toward conservation of the Wild 
Duck, help to prolong this great outdoor sport. 
Plant that pond, river or bay with natural aquatic 
food plants, increase the range of the waterfowl 
and you will be helping to increase their numbers 
and at the same time insure some real sport for 
yourself and sportsmen associates.
