Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This remarkable volume offers a journey back to the 19th century where readers will discover the tragic tale of the Cahow, a mysterious and now extinct bird once found in abundance on the Bermuda Islands. The author meticulously pieces together contemporary accounts from shipwrecked sailors, early settlers, and naturalists to reconstruct the life and habits of this enigmatic creature. Through the author's captivating prose, we learn about the Cahow's unusual nocturnal habits, its strange, haunting call, and its strange nesting behavior in burrows dug into the sandy soil. Intriguingly, the Cahow laid large, white eggs in the depths of winter, a time when most other birds were not breeding. The author explores the reasons for the Cahow's extinction, pointing to the relentless hunting and egg-collecting by humans as the primary cause. As the human population on the islands grew, the Cahow's habitat was destroyed, and the birds were hunted to the point of no return. This book is not just a story of extinction but also a testament to the fragility of our natural world and the importance of conservation. It is a haunting reminder of the consequences of human actions on the delicate balance of nature and the profound loss we incur when a species is lost forever. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330287040_0
