As a child there were rookeries everywhere around here, now there are hardly any. What used to be magnificent sight of flocks in flight at break of day are now only handfuls of birds. Some farmers would call them rats with wings but they’re essentially the cleanup crew. When out this time of day I used to feel the the life of nature awakened with these great black flocks. Now it is with sadness I see the few who fly by.
