well, i'm not real sure what I'm hearing. maybe thursday night I'll sit out and wait to see what I hear, and maybe record it and look for bird call recordings on the 'net.

its possible i've heard 2 separate birds at night. one in my yard, and one down the street. I'm somewhat used to the one in my yard; it sounds familiar. but one I heard last week down the street sounded so different and foreign that I stopped mid sentence and ask my husband 'what was that' (and I was REALLY impressed that he had heard it too, and didn't call me nuts, and was also wondering what it was.)

i'll keep you posted if I come up with what it was. if I manage to digitally record the audio of it, do you know whether I could post it here so others can hear it? I know I can digitally record it to one of our PCs... but I am NOT bringing that outside. Maybe I'll see if the microphone will work on the ibook and whether the software on the ibook can support that.... imagine the possiblities... sounds like a 'fun' job for my tech loving husband. but I figure if i can make dvds and add background music to old silent movies, I can probably record sound if the microphone we have isn't PC only...
