Title:
Woman in plumed hat
Caption:
The rise of the bird-preservation movement at the end
of the 19th century was in response to the slaughter
of birds to adorn womenÕs hats and clothing. That effort
also gave birth to the first National Wildlife Refuge,
Pelican Island, Florida, in 1903, created by President
Theodore Roosevelt.
