Reply #8: Birds used to drive me nuts in early spring.

[freethought]

I lived for awhile in mid-coast Maine. Next to the house where I lived there was a stand of evergreens (pine,hemlock etc...). It provided good cover from snow and wind and the local wild turkeys made a habit of roosting there when the weather turned foul. A few them probably roosted there every night during the winter.
Come spring, when Mr. Turkey was reeeeaaallly eager to meet Ms. Turkey they would start their mating calls at some ungodly hour in the morning. You could set a clock by it. In addition they can also be really loud and the sound isn't that pleasant. Kind of like a hoarse squeak.

They woke my older brother up a number of days when he was visiting on vacation. Nearly drove him insane.
