Yesterday, working outside, I heard a mechanical rattling/chattering
sound followed by a pair of loud trumpets. I looked up, and saw
nothing, but then I heard the two trumpet sounds again, further
south and then a few seconds later I heard them again, even further
away.
I am not sure if the Sandhill Cranes do that loud trumpeting, but
the first sound I heard could have been a Sandhill sound. The
trumpeting was very loud and quite musical, and each time I heard it
it was two, one and then a second later another. Not like anything I
have heard before.
Ideas folks?
