I'm particularly fond of extinct birds of North America (Carolina parakeets to be exact), do you have a favourite extinct bird?

Honestly Carolina Parakeets were my favorites, but here are a couple that I've always been fascinated by...

Heath Hen (Tympanuchus cupido cupido), family Phasianidae, order Galliformes, lived in coastal scrubby pine barrens along the Atlantic Coast from NH to VA.

EXTINCT. (1932)

Subspecies of the Greater Prairie Chicken.

Extinction due to overhunting and habitat loss.

 Labrador Duck (Camptorhynchus labradorius), family Anatidae, order Anseriformes, lived along the East Coast of Canada and the NE coast of the US

EXTINCT. (ca. 1878)

The species had always been rarely seen.

Cause for extinction not well known, it may have been overcollection of eggs.

The cat is obviously the most important thing here, but I love that the painter included the boy refusing to keep his shoe and sock on. Ca. 1835. Source.

The Magic Lantern by Auguste Edouart ca. 1835, made with cut paper and ink wash.

Description by the Met Museum:

One of the most proficient silhouette artists of the nineteenth century, Auguste Edouart discovered his skill at paper cutting only after resigning his post in Napoleon's defeated army and moving to England. He delighted in showing off his abilities by representing a range of ages and social types, as in this complex composition featuring three generations of one family, together with their servants and pet dog. A "Galantee" showman performs a magic lantern show-in which images painted on glass are projected onto a screen through an illuminated lens-while an old man with a wooden leg provides musical accompaniment on a barrel organ. The cut figures are set within an elaborate curtained interior painted in sepia.

Although the figures are silhouettes, they are unmistakably Romantic.

Biography

The portraitist Frederick Randolph Spencer was born June 7, 1806 in Lennox, New York, one of four children of the lawyer and first postmaster of Canastota, General Ichabod Smith Spencer (1780-1857), and Mary Pierson Spencer (1785-1865). He evinced an early interest for art, and at the age of fifteen saw an exhibition of portraits by Ezra Ames at Albany. In 1822 he saw in Utica some biblical scenes by William Dunlap, from whom he received some informal instruction. In 1825 Spencer went to New York City and drew from the casts at the American Academy of the Fine Arts, where he studied under John Trumbull. By 1827 he had returned to his family's home in Canastota and commenced painting portraits.

After periods of professional activity in Albany and Utica, he returned to New York City in 1831 and became a successful portraitist who painted many of New York's prominent citizens. In 1834 Dunlap reported that Spencer "has been in constant employment to the present time, and with increasing reputation." He became an academician of the American Academy in 1832, and served on its board directors from 1833 to 1835. He became an associate member of the National Academy of Design in 1837, a full academician in 1846, and corresponding secretary of the organization from 1849 to 1850, when he refused reelection in order to dedicate himself to painting. In 1858 the artist retired to upstate New York; he evidently experienced some marital difficulties at that time because his wife, without apparent justification, accused him of insanity and remained in New York City. Spencer died at Wampsville on April 3, 1875.

Spencer painted in an extremely smooth, linear style characterized by a high degree of finish; his later works appear almost photographic. A provincial portraitist who specialized in conventional and literal likenesses, Spencer also painted genre and literary subjects
