He Carolina Parakeet’s habitat once extended south to the Gulf of Mexico, east to the Ohio Valley. It was commonly seen by early settlers ornamenting bare winter trees as far west as Colorado and as far north as lower Michigan. Arriving with great chatter, vibrant flocks of tens to hundreds flitted about the forests and swamps, ate cockleburs and nuts, and roosted together in hollow trees. The memorial to the Carolina Parakeet is located in Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park. Near Okeechobee, Florida.

Arefowl, Penguin, Pinwing, Gordo, Moyacks, Great Apponath, Geirfuglar, Wobble, Binocle these are some of the names given the Great Auk by people who lived on the coast of Europe, north to Iceland, Greenland, to Newfoundland and down the eastern seaboard of North America. Swift and agile swimmers, able to dive to great depths, the Great Auk lived most of its life at sea. The last documented pair of Great Auks was killed on Eldey Island, below, on June 3, 1844.
