Meep! Meep! Meep!

9:14 am on Fri, 6 Jul 2007

The other night we here a bird chirping outside. He lets out three consecutive “meep” type chirps. And he does it rather consistently, almost like he’s on a timer. I eventually start wondering if it’s actually an insect – far more likely to be so regular (at least in my mind). Yeah, that makes sense – it must be some sort of cricket.

To our surprise, he’s still going the next morning. We start wondering, was this thing really chirping all night long? I mean, it’s kind of cute, but it would get irritating real fast. Regardless, I figure I should empty the dehumidifier down in the basement. The pump has been acting up, so it’s back to filling up the bucket and manually emptying once or twice a day. Chances are it filled up quickly with all of the humidity and was probably beeping all night long…

    Heh. Maybe you’ll end up with the woodpecker who decided to tap on our siding a few times last year. Dumbest. Bird. Ever.

    Could be a tree frog.
