Welcome to my userpage. This might be my last chance at succedding. Although I haven't been at Wikipedia for a long time I have already noticed how different it is then most people imagine. Most people don't use Wikipedia because they think anybody can edit it. That is true but that's why there is a whole bunch of admins and bots and other stuff to revert vandalism. Don't get mad about what I think on a certain subject and there won't be any pain. :) As you can probably already tell I like to have fun and some of my edits might show it too. So try not to take everything I type to seriously. My userpage is mostly like the main page so that I don't have to check out the main page which might be vandalised.
The dusky seaside sparrow (Ammospiza maritima nigrescens) was a non-migratory subspecies of the seaside sparrow, found in Florida in the natural salt marshes of Merritt Island and along the St. Johns River. Discovered in 1872 by Charles Johnson Maynard, it was distinguished from other seaside sparrows by its dark coloration and distinct song. From the 1940s onwards, the dusky seaside sparrow population declined and eventually went extinct. This was the result of human activity in the area including pesticides and flooding applied to reduce mosquito populations, industrial expansion, and highway construction. The last definite known individual died on Discovery Island in Walt Disney World in 1987, and the subspecies was declared extinct in 1990.Photograph credit: P. W.
