Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator)
It is the largest native North American bird, if measured in terms of weight and length, and is (on average) the largest living waterfowl species on earth.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Trumpeter Swan was hunted heavily, both as game and a source of feathers. This species is also unusually sensitive to lead poisoning while young. These birds once bred in North America from northwestern Indiana west to Oregon in the U.S., and in Canada from James Bay to the Yukon, and they migrated as far south as Texas and southern California. The trumpeter was rare or extinct in most of the United States by the early twentieth century. Many thousands survived in the core range in Canada and Alaska, however, where populations have since rebounded. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpeter_Swan

To all my contacts:
I know I'm getting a bit behind with comments, and will get onto it over the weekend!
I almost never do photos like this! (This is for my rural Aussie friends as much as anything!)
But I couldn't resist. I was on a farm near the Cobaw ranges, for work, and these cows thought we were going to feed them. It was late afternoon, and time for some hay - as you can see, no feed left in the paddock. Apologies to my Socts friend for the harsh blue sky, but I tell you, rain has become extinct here!

Prong Buck in the Grass
Image by RafeLangston
(From: Wikipedia) The Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is a species of artiodactyl mammal endemic to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is often known colloquially in North America as the Prong Buck, Pronghorn Antelope, or simply Antelope, as it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and one theory is that it fills a similar ecological niche due to convergent evolution. It is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae. During the Pleistocene period, 12 antilocaprid species existed in North America. About 5 existed when humans entered North America[citation needed] 13,000 years ago; all but A. americana are now extinct.

This stalactite/stalagmite formation is shaped like a moa, one of New Zealand's extinct birds. But who knows - maybe it just got trapped there and was once alive...?

Lone Oryx
Image by Scottwdw
A lone Scimitar-horned Oryx standing in the Uzima savanna at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. This animal is extinct in the wild. Places like Disney's Animal Kingdom and zoos around the world keep a healthy breeding population in hopes of re-introducing the Oryx back into its northern African home sometime in the future.
