You ever hear a flock of Whip-poor-wills at night, Enn? Or the booming of a Nightjar? Actually, I don't mind the Nightjars, but whoo, those Whip-poor-wills sound like a treeful of lost souls, know what I mean?
Check this sight out: you can listen to one!

What about owls hooting? That can be quite eerie sometimes, no?
Don't you think barn owls and screech owls are the worst?
I think they are wonderful birds, but the hooting is a bit weird, you know?
Just listened to the link that Pen gave us. Reckon that sounds ok. though if it went on for long enough I'd feel differently about it. I'm very fortunate to live in the middle of an area which is full of birds. I'm not really complaining about the cuthag but he does go on and on and on. Next it'll be the traon - corncrake to you all - croaking all night. Owls we're short of here.
As I have said before, my upstairs is clogged with all sorts of weird information. Did you know that screech owls are not the owls that screech? That would be a barn owl. Screech owls do that eerie wailing noise. And then some owls do give a hoot, you know? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Kane/Owl_3.gif
Exactly, don't you think the screech and wailing are the worst? While on the subject of weird animal information, do you know what a capibara is(before looking it up)?
I think it has two rs. largest of the south american rat family or was it pig family. Apparently, it has some nutritious value. National Geographic, that's the source.
Hey there, PenD, that's a new one for an old dillitante bird watcher. Had enough trouble with mockingbirds outside my place, esp. in summer with windows open. They are great then they grate. Could be me, though. RJS
Where did the questions go? :p
So are we supposed to create a new question since the supposed topic has gone?
To ElissaDido: It's my experience that the thread is losing interest, or the timing is off, the litnet seems to align to either Greenwich M. Time or East Coast US Time, the arbiters will correct me perhaps. Don't count the thread out yet. I have a question...has anybody ever read R. M. Rilke for the first time in German?
@quasimodo: I think you got me wrong. I was meaning that is somebody else going to ask another question to break from the lost topic... I was not really referring to the topic thread. :)
No I haven't read R.M. Rilke... who is that?
Apparently an author, correct? A Capibara, (I always saw it spelled Capybara, but I am not a champion speller!), also called Nutria, is a sort of over-grown Guinea pig with a rat's tail, has been described as a "giant swimming rabbit without ears", and would you believe it, are now native to my home state of Virginia, USA since Hurricane Andrew allowed their escape from a zoo in Florida? Dang rodents spread like wild-fire up through the East Coast swamplands, and are legal to hunt now, how's that for irony? It's the same way we have a colony of monkeys living in Texas, and reported Kangaroos in Kansas, they adapt too quickly don't you think?

Hey there Pen, where do you get those graphics. It's all just 0s and 1s to me. Really i thought the writer was inquiring about a species...you are not going to tell me there is a writer by that name? If so, what lingo, where? And as for environmental questions, I'm still mad at the affluent idiot who imported black flies to NY to kill the aphids on his roses. They increase and multiply. I failed highend calculus. No sho. Keep on posting. quasimodo1
