    This gives me the perfect chance to share a fun trivia fact! One of the best ways to link migration patterns were arrows carried by the birds from one area to another. As always, there’s a word for it in German - arrow stork. Even better is that the original specimen is one posted on this map; the white stork!

      It was a fun fact until I clicked the link and realized that “arrows carried by the birds” are in fact arrows the birds have been shot with. Interesting history, thanks!
