We get up early, between 5 and 5:30 a.m. We get to see a lot of stunning sunrises, but one of the best things about being up and about so early is what we hear.
This morning we heard the white-crowned sparrows twittering in the juniper trees. They are small birds, but loud! They spend the night in the junipers for cover and warmth.
The farm across the road from us has cattle, and we heard several of the heifers complaining about the cold. They don't "moo" but rather give out with an "aahh" sound. The bull, on the other hand, blasts!
Killdeer fly over, and it seems a killdeer in flight has to cry. Silence is not their forte! A few ducks came into the pond, and we heard them discussing the fishing possibilities.
Getting up and getting outside brings a symphony of lovely sounds. We enjoy the view, but we also enjoy the sounds!

I love the sounds. The soundtrack is a very important element of a powerful movie.

I think those sounds are what I miss the most during the winter months here. I still hear cows, but I really miss the birds. I know spring is really here when the bird songs wake me :)
