Passenger Pigeon

Passenger Pigeon, taxidermy, Visitor Centre, Point Pelee National Park - totally extinct now due to industrial scale hunting, these used to darken the sky in North America with a flock of more than 3 billion birds reported in Ontario in 1866.

In Hurtubise House in Westmount, Quebec, there is a drawing of a bird on a wall that the volunteers think was a passenger pigeon.

This little building is the Icelandic Parliament. A man stopped and asked me what I was photographing. (Objectiv, I think, in Icelandic). I said I liked the way it was divided into three parts, the water, wall and skyline, and the way the green dome was contrasted by the red hair of the woman reading. Iceland is so small that by describing the man to someone else, I learned he was a University professor.
