Heath Hen Decline Traced From Colonial Flocks to Extinction
The heath hen once thrived along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to Virginia and on nearby islands. Settlers valued its meat, and early colonists like the Pilgrims relied on it for feasts, but the species gradually vanished from the mainland by the Civil War era, surviving only on islands until eventual extinction. A 1930s New England conference sought to save the species, but funds and effort failed to reverse the decline.
