Now all day long---but more defining all night long I hear this cackeling sounds from the trees--

Now I dont think it is the 7year Locust attack cus I dont see the critters crawling up the trees ---
Mr. Louie tells me I am hearing BIRDS at night--which I dont think birds do this cackeling noise--unless they from another country--and I dont think Birds are out @ night singing???

Sooooooo---Maggie----what is this that I am hearing??? cus it totally drives me nutz at night!!

thank U---to anyone who can come up with any ideas!!!

Morning Barbara,

Love your description from another country. There are a few birds that can really be noisy at night and the main one is the Northern Mockingbird which I am sure you have. They can do a huge variety of sounds and really can mimic the locust too. Just might be them or some starlings will sound off at night.

Hope this helps.

Love, Maggie

Oh boy---am I in BIG trouble with the birding Xpert aka MR. Louis---

Thats what he told me--tis BIRDS and I said *ya crazy*---but I shall NOT tell him that his GUESS has been validated by our Biridng Xpert!!!

I mean they out there right know---humming away!!!!

Thanks Maggs---and I really HATE when LOUIS can be ALMOST RIGHT--

Could it be katydids? I am sitting here now (in Ohio) listening to them. They have a 2-syllable or three-syllable sound. On this page is a recording of their sound. Actually the ones I'm listening to have a slightly lower pitched sound than on the recording. Could it be them?
