[nysbirds-l] In memorium: The Carolina Parakeet

This email is in memorial to the Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) on the 100th anniversary, today 2/21/18, of its official extinction.  Since it doesn't get the acknowledgement it deserves as did the Passenger Pigeon on its anniversary, I wanted to at least say something in memorium.
