storksHaha great poem, Eric!
Perhaps it's just about the border of their European habitat. Here in Poland they're more than abundant. A couple weeks ago me and my wife drove across Alsace on the way back from south France, and that's said to be the only part of France where they live. You won't believe it but we met a bunch of storks actually sponging food from people at a roadside car park!
cheers,
Kamil

Re: storksIt's interesting...storks really seem to prefer where it's flat. In Hungary and the part of Austria named Burgenland they're very common as well. There's even the old joke that the Burgenländer still believe in the stork! :D Around Salzburg though you really see them only very rarely...
Cheers,
Eric
P.S.: The composer Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) wrote a fantastic Lied based on Mörike's poem, that's how I got to know it! :-)
