Quote -  you all are lucky..here. I get crows and mynah waking me up by screaming their heads off, and a couple other noisy birds that at times.. makes me want to scream 'shut up!'. My apartment is surrounded by trees 5 yards away in distance.. so imagine the chaotic noise. there are just very few opera singers out there.... everything is heavy metal...

 We get both heaven and hell here. Thrushes, wrens, bob white all singing early on. Right now is firefly season. We'll have millions by July.They sometimes flash in sync and make wheels or waves in the night.
Sometime in July the cicadas hatch out. They're a type of locust. Then it will be Scree!Scree!Scree....! for the next month.You can't hear anything else. Late Aug-Sept a million Starlings swoop down and finish of fthe cicadas. They just cheep-cheep, but its a thousand at a time. They all take off at once. It's like a big black amoeba pulsing through the sky. About October they all head south and it's quiet again.
