I'm curious . . . . .
As summer comes and the world wakes up from winter and you go outside on a warm spring evening what do you hear?
Crickets?
Cicada?


Not us. We hear a dull continuous back ground noise of ribbits . . .Yes, we hear FROGS! LOL! Can you believe we have found FROGS in our front yard? Snails are regulars, slugs are around too. Last night I was cruising around with the top down and as I came into our driveway I could hear a continuous noise of frogs! Must be mating season! LOL!


So, what do you hear in your neck of the woods at night?

Scott

my dog barking at the squirrels every chance he gets

squirrels running up and down pine and oak trees

blackbirds eating my mulberries, they have eaten or knock on ground about a 1/3 of them already!

Here we know it's spring when we hear the woodpeckers. They try to attract a mate by hammering as loudly as possible. One year the flashing of our chimney was the target. Yes, it was indeed loud!

Paul

damn guys next door trying to get in his house and he cant........Drunk again.

European starlings fighting for position at the bird feeders.
We put feeders in to drown out the town traffic, which thankfully dies out early and becomes insanely quiet at night.

I have a pond so I have frogs and toads. About three weeks ago, when the weather was in the 80s. The frogs came out, and so did the turtles. Then it turned colder, and they went back to sleep. Now their move around again, I have baby turtles a size of a quarter. When it's warmer the frogs and toads make noise all night. During the day, I have for red wing blackbirds, that sing all day. And I love it

Mockingbird's. The loudest most irritating noise!!! Fortunately for the mockingbird it is the protected state bird and illeagal to shoot.

Ya'll had winter ? You mean like it was cold and stuff ??

Theres no mistaking the sound of blue herons or the dalphan when they surface for air. Alot of times its just the waves on the side of the hull.

Ditto! It would make sense because I'm only about 180 miles from you.

Chickens bickering over who gets the best roost. I have three dozen of them in the backyard and they talk all the time, until the lights go out.

As a Dep Sheriff working the courts ten + hours a day a warm spring evening on my back porch swing the sound I most want to hear is.... silence.

I live next to a state highway that is part of a favorite loop the riders like to take from the Twin Cities to the St Croix river valley.

Crickets and squirrels and woodpeckers but the best sound I hear are the docks going in the creek .

right now i hear lsu baseball on my portable radio..crickets..frogs...and the fan that blows on my hammock in the screened gazebo. life is good.

Around here it's peaceful frogs and cicadas punctuated occasionally by freight train.
