This was just the picturesque chunk of birds. The flock was more than a dozen birds.

They were common where I live a few hundred years ago but we hunted most of them to near extinction by the early 1900.

When I was a kid 30 years ago they were very rare, but reintroduction efforts in the 70ies and 80ies, coupled with milder winters, are helping them to live and migrate north, so they are now common again in my region.
