RIP, Orange Band

This is Orange Band, the last known Dusky Seaside Sparrow. This species once lived in southern Florida but was declared extinct in 1990.

Blind in one eye, he died on June 17 in 1987 after outliving five male colleagues brought to live out their days at Walt Disney World Resort.

Orange Band is understood to have died of starvation while queuing for the teacup ride.
