I'm hearing what sounds remarkably like a ship's horn outside. o____o uh. if there's a cruise ship on the lake down the hill... I don't even know?? or maybe it's a really big bird????
@Kistaro and it sneaks up behind birders in spring, as they're all clustered around staring at trees through binoculars and whispering, and then does the HOOOOONK thing and flies away laughing. eeeeeheheheheee
@green I am now imagining a little three-inch sparrow with a mating call that is this incredibly loud, deep, resonant HONK
