About thirty minutes before sundown the noise makers come out again and start their chirping. This time I'm ready. I put on some warm clothing a jacket and with flashlight in hand I go outside into the chilly air, yea it's cold down here, sit and wait.
The darkness came. With it comes the sounds. I had seated myself facing the direction I felt I've heard the sounds coming from. Wrong direction this night. They were ninety degrees on my right and about forty degrees further on the same side were others. They would call back and forth to each other making that music that can be pleasing or displeasing to ears.
Focusing on the closest sound I turned on the light and slowly swept the area to see what I could spot. Nothing. Not only nothing the durn thing shut up. The sound at about 140 degrees also shut up. Nothing. Not one more peep as I sat there, back into darkness listening for their sounds and feeling the chill air reaching me. After about 30 minutes I could no longer take it so inside I went. I wasn't inside ten minutes and they started chirping again. Laughing at me. Teasing me.
I still don't know what they are.
