Sort of off topic, however birds MAY be involved.

My niece, a high school freshman called me with a question.  Name 5 animals
extirpated in WI.  I  went on-line and found:  Mountain lion, American
bison- she found pronghorn; who knew!  With all the reintroductions
(whooping crane, elk, fisher, etc.) the other extirpations elude me.  What
about any of the caribous, grizzly bear?

I'll include a bird item.  The Western grebe today was cool and unexpected.
