A few years ago, during the spring and summer I'd wake up at 4:30-6 in the morning to the sound of birds. Now it's quiet. I don't think I know anyone else who has noticed or cares.
All I hear are the sounds of motors... I hate motors.
It makes me sad and feeling a bit empty.
I came down from the hill at about 3:15am listening to the American Robins sing their song and the Northern Cardinals calling out their territories. Occasionally, a wood thrush could be heard. It was nice, and I wanted to stay, but I wanted coffee too...
We have a few Eastern Barred Owls that live somewhere on the plateau. I haven't found their roost yet, but I see them a lot. I did not hear them last night to fix a location.
