I came home from New York at night and in the rain. There were cicadas crunching underfoot but they weren't making much noise. The next day I stayed in all day. I could hear them out there, but the house was muffling their vigor. This morning I went out and recorded them using the voice memo service on my palm pilot. Cicadas sound like this. That's them; it sounds like that, that's not static. A few of them, close up, don't sound like that. It's more like clicking, whirring, and whining. the aggregated sound of many, though--oi it's painful. (7FJ)
Just now, at around 1:20am, I've spotted my first lightning bug of the season. It was crawling up the window, blinking its booty. (0000XP)
This is good. (0000XQ)
Wow. Just outside my window a large owl flew up and perched on a nearby tree. It's nature day or something. Earlier 4 deer ran past the same window.
The owl is intently looking my direction.
He just flew around to a closer perch. Appears to be a Barred Owl.
