I hear tree frogs.

[cjh]

Crazy loud.

They're like night locusts.

LOL so fucking random

I may have to shut the doors before I go to sleep.

They're a racket.

 

[nowisthetime]

Had to google what a tree frog sounds like and damn, that is annoying!

I think the locusts come after the lice, diseased livestock and boils.

It's funny. I love it. To me, it's summer.

I probably don't hear it much of the time. Like living next to a railroad.

It's unseasonably cool, though. Doors and windows open.

They're loud motherfuckers.

Identify the notes, then let's turn it into an opera. Something like Porgy and Bess, just with frogs.

I may part the Red Pond tomorrow.

Down here I just hear crickets and the occasional owl at night.

And then... the undead. Led by Cher.

I wish I had a better ear.

They don't all sound the same.

And there is a rhythm.

It's like call and response frog noises.

I get owls.

Poor crickets get overwhelmed.

Must be a lot of frog fucking underway.

Reminds me of one particular summer camp I attended.
There was a colony of tree frogs in the showers.
Showering before bed was scary.

They have pretty creepy feet.

It's been unseasonably humid here so I'm getting a break from the tree frogs (closed windows). When they settle down it seems the birds start chirping, around 3.30am. I've had a few good nights of sleep. But I do miss them...a little.

Let's turn it into a drums-only opera. Petey will help.

I recall the exact same experience. Everything was scary at that camp.

 

[pointless]

there are places where there are no tree frogs? well, besides maybe deserts and the arctic.

other places without trees and/or liquid water.

I had friends from Iowa visit a couple of summers ago.

We grilled out doors, and lingered to about this hour.

One of asked about the dreadfully loud sound.

I hadn't even the noticed the frogs singing.

I wish I could post the sound in stereo.

I hear bottle rockets, too.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em, I suppose.

I lived in the Texas Panhandle and Northern New Mexico awhile.

Night sounded completely different.

Summers up at NY state campgrounds we'd hear both tree frogs AND swamp bullfrogs at dusk and early night.

The Junebugs (a/k/a "lightening bugs" or fireflies) were late this year. For reasons unknown, they didn't show up 'til the middle of July. Similarly, the cicadas and katydids were also late but are now in full throat.

The peepers have come and gone. The bullfrogs are now ubiquitous.

The sound of tree frogs is unalterably associated with the tropics. When I was young, I couldn't figure out what was making that delightful sound. I was certain it had to be some form of insect. It never occurred to me that it could be frogs. It was only years later that it was indisputably proved to me that these little fellows http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Gladiator_frog_Osa.JPG/220px-Gladiator_frog_Osa.JPG were the source. I couldn't have been more surprised.

I have bullfrogs in the pond.

Well, I don't have them, they're just there.
