The Cow Says....

Lying in the grass. It's very peaceful, have you tried it?
I've done this the last couple of days, just lying there with the camera. Of course I get visited by many cats probably wondering what I'm doing.

From where I lie you can only hear nature. Well, the occasional private plane flies over. Sometimes I can hear a 4wheeler on another road, or a neighbors dog bark. But mainly I hear water and birds, or the wind through the pine trees. It's a cool sound. When I first moved here I kept thinking a big truck was coming down the driveway. But no, it was rustling wind.

I learned a lot of new noises moving here.
Did you know the Stellars can mimic other noises? They're really good at sounding like cats. I swear the first month I lived here I kept thinking there was a cat stuck in a tree somewhere, and I would walk around worried, inspecting all the trees. Heh.. tricksters.

I learned the sound of a baby fawn crying. But.. there's also a bird that can sound the same. I was told that if you hear a fawn crying, it usually means there's an enemy trying to hurt it. So, of course when I hear that noise, I investigate. Only to find I'm chasing a bird. Tricked...again..

Elks bugling is a wild sound.
Coyotes howling is beautiful, but a bit scary.
The bear will do this low huffy type growl if you irritate them. Yes, I have experience in irritating the bear. Mainly because I don't want them looking in the windows. Makes be a bit nervous sometimes.
The deer make this almost blowing-nose type sound when they feel threatened, or when they're warning the other deer.

The pileated woodpecker makes this almost laughing-woman type sound. Another one that surprised me at first.
Oh and then there's the red-winged blackbird. A beautiful sound, especially through your windows first thing in the morning :)

Okay.. I don't know where I was going with this. I really was just going to show you Tweet sitting in the grass.
Instead, you got a lesson in nature sounds :)

Lucky you :)
