We are blessed with an abundance of bird life, here in the jungle. Last year we had a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) who would visit us every night at 3:00 AM, and who would hoot continuously for fifteen minutes before he flapped silently away on muffled wings.
This year we have a Chuck-will's-Widow (Caprimulgus carolinensis) who sits on a stump on our vacant lot, and who chirps all night. Literally. It's a piercing call, very unique.
Thankfully, it is summer, our air-conditioning is on, and the windows are closed. We can still hear him, though.
He just won't shut the hell up.
