Although many Montana birds are on the verge of extinction, the only
species that we are sure have totally vanished are the passenger pigeon and whooping crane. Mammals extinct, bison. NEBRASKA: Curlew, wild turkey, parrakeet, passenger pigeon, whooping crane, and no doubt _all_ the other species that have disappeared from Kansas. Mammals: bison, antelope, elk, and mule deer. NEVADA: By a rather odd combination of causes and effects, Nevada retains representatives of nearly all her original outfit of bird and mammal species except the bison and elk; but several of them will shortly become extinct. NEW HAMPSHIRE: Wild turkey, heath hen, pigeon, whooping crane, Eskimo curlew, upland plover, Labrador duck; woodland caribou, moose. NEW JERSEY: Heath hen, wild turkey, pigeon, parrakeet, Eskimo curlew, Labrador duck, snowy egret, whooping crane, sandhill crane, trumpeter swan, pileated woodpecker; gray wolf, black bear, beaver, elk, porcupine, puma.
