NYT: Passenger Pigeon Extinct Once Again

I caught the New York Times resurrecting the passenger pigeon in Baghdad here a couple of days ago. they changed it, initially without a correction. But now they've appended a correction:

Correction: March 6, 2007

An article on Sunday about the tendency of Shiites and Sunnis to interact less and less with one another because of the violence in Iraq referred incorrectly to birds kept on the roof of a Shiite restaurateur and former government worker who said that he is a virtual shut-in because his neighborhood is so dangerous. While the birds are pigeons, they are not passenger pigeons, which are extinct.

Thanks to commenter Big Dan for the tip.
