yep, me too! (but then, I am always grumpyNo sound of birds singing and declaring their territories, no spring peeper frogs singing their brains out. No crickets or bugs raising a ruckus.......just winter cold and silence.....well except for our psychotic roosters, that is.
Gaaaaagh! I miss spring all ready!!
)We get so many birds up here in the summer ... then they all leave!!!!
We get left with all raptors known to man
including crows and ravens. For song birds it is mostly just 3...chickadees, pine siskins, and juncos.I like the sound the cickadees make...but wow does it get monotonous when that is almost all you hear.
The sandhill cranes left last week (or was it Monday?) Often they leave in lots of small flocks...this year they ALL LEFT TOGETHER!!! Hundreds and hundreds all together...

and now gone.

I was very lucky to catch all that. Of course I didn't have my phone, so I couldn't take a picture.
