Footage of the last Heath Hen (Tympanuchus cupido cupido) "Booming Bob" from around 1932. The species was hunted by both people and feral cats to extinction. Their range used to extend from southern New Hampshire to coastal Virginia. By the end, it was just a tiny population on Martha's Vineyard.
I've never seen this footage of Booming Ben! How incredible. Ben is part of my Endlings Pin collection:
They were incredible little birds that basically went extinct for being too delicious...
