Super User bigbill Posted August 13, 2017 Super User Posted August 13, 2017 I just got in bed lastnight, left the windows open for fresh air. And a barn owl starts up with his,,,, "who cooks for you" song. I laid there listening to him for an hour. I was so cool to hear wild America. i hear my local resident 400lb blackbear hooting and I can mimic him and call him in but I fear for my cats. Bears hoot because they can't call 1-800-collect. 4 Quote
Super User Gundog Posted August 13, 2017 Super User Posted August 13, 2017 I miss those days when I was woken by a morning dove in the tree behind my place. Now its just cars with no exhaust pipes and tractor trailers with jake brakes. Not to mention the neighbors arguing about who did what to who. Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 13, 2017 Super User Posted August 13, 2017 Mornings are quiet in my neighborhood. Can sit on back deck and watch the birds and squirrels. Very peaceful. Quote
david in va Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 I live in the boonies and hear all the sounds of nature, of course it is 30 miles to the nearest Hardies or wally world not a bad trade 1 Quote
XpressJeff Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Agreed, living in the sticks is great. A rooster every morning! Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted August 14, 2017 Super User Posted August 14, 2017 My mornings are quiet except for that alarm clock going off every work day! I could really do without that. 1 Quote
mllrtm79 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 some days I miss the guinea hens, most mornings I don't. Getting ready to move back into the house in the woods, and the noisiest creature we'll have this time is a basset hound, so far... Of course the foxes, doves, and owls are still there, and the neighborhood cats. Still to be seen how long it takes her to start collecting farm animals again lol Quote
Catch 22 Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 There used to be some kind of songbird that prefered to serenade me at night.The little bugger was only about 10' from my head when it would start up.I could usually go to sleep,but had to yell at it a few times to shut it. Maybe it heard me snoring and wanted to do the tenor part 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 16, 2017 Global Moderator Posted August 16, 2017 We have tons of coyotes that howl like crazy pretty much every night. Some mornings I'll hear turkey gobbling and it's pretty common to hear quail whistling for their buddy Bob White. Sure beats the trains and cars I used to have to listen to all the time. Quote
