Sounds during the year

Early Spring (Apr)- some light bird chirping in the early morning. In the evening, the peepers (small frogs in the swamp) have a continuous light chorus until darkness.

Mid Spring (May) - pre dawn - the loudest continuous racket STFU birds! All the birds talking at once. By mid-morning, still lots of birds but not overbearing. Loud throughout the day, but not continuous like pre-dawn.

Late Spring/Early Summer - Lots of birds still in pre-dawn but not mind splitting. Lots of bird calls throughout the day, but not continuous.

Mid/Late Summer - some times periods of total silence, other times sporadic birds calls through the day. Evenings very light crickets

Early/Mid Fall (Sep-Nov) - evening crickets, even until early Nov.
Mid/Late Fall - Leaf blowers

Early Winter (Dec) - nothing

Mid/Late winter (Jan/Feb)- during large snowfalls, less than nothing. But then off in the distance you hear the snowplows scraping the streets and the beeping when they reverse.
