I had read somewhere that there is a correlation between storks and human birth rates. From what I remember, the mediator is cold weather. Storks nest in chimneys, and people cleaning their chimneys for the winter ahead invariably send the storks to flight. Nine months to a year later, Junior appears.
Doesn't have to be some eplicit events 9 months after the stork visit...
Maybe the birth rate happens to be relatively high in typical rural
areas where storks would stay? (It would be some relatively intact
village or "isolated houses" environment. People would typically own
houses with chimneys. There would not be huge noise. Etc. I come from
some "countryside" area with stork population, so I am not just
inventing some social theories. This is mere observation, the start of
any real science. :-) )
Best,

But there might have been some correlation between increased human and stork
populations, too, and this could be environmental factors. Maybe the minks
stopped reproducing because they didn't want yet another binaural recording.

It might be worthwile to record the storks, but you will catch their
sound only while they are resting, which is instructive but really
boring ... Unless somebody will follow their flight with some Amb. mike
fixed at their helicopter. (Funding?? But you would have to cancel out
all the helicopter noise, which will turn out to be extremely difficult
unless Sampo and Fons will find some really brilliant noise cancellation
algo... :-D )
I didn't have time yet to study all the bird sound samples, but the
following links/sources might be losely related to Ambisonics, the
Universe and Everything:

Why < not > binaural recordings?! O:-)
