A few of the local noise makers.

House Wren if you have one in the area, you know they are little and loud

Grackle with his mouth open....making loud noises....

Best bike bell I own

The mama or papa bird was making a heck of a racket until they realized that I and my dog were no threat.

A hand blender (making soup)

This guy banging on the glass nearly every morning.

Farm tractor

This is our late Smudge. Maine Coons are noted for their large vocabulary. They don't meow, but make other noises. '

Every night when we'd be in bed, he would be out in the livingroom, singing, howling, barking, yodeling, making sounds like a crying baby; all the while coming down the hall into the bedroom.

This guy didn't mind us posing for photos with him. He led us in to dinner after his street performance.

We were at the Tinguely Museum in Switzerland. Every once in awhile this mobile would turn on and start jangling.

Our watch dog! Luckily she is not yappy but she will let us know if someone enters the property. Good dog 🐶!

You gotta love her. Hi Mia!

Bonus today: not only great pictures - but imagined noises, too ... quite a few by Canada geese.

Question: are other Canadians, in general, that noisy?

(Not to mention, frequently crapping on your lawn?!)

Canada geese tend to gather at water courses, frequently at ones that run through inhabited areas, often with parks nearby.

(Unfortunately, say quite a few) (???) Canada geese are not so scarce as to be labelled, an endangered species.

As Dad, an old farmer, used to comment, as did a number of his friends, when faced with a possibly somewhat questionable claim or story, "No shot?!".

That dang altering robot's at it again - I swear that I wrote a four- letter word used by farmers (and others) for "manure"!

Should I let this story season a bit while I go hang some clothes on the line before I post it?

She looks all innocent like but when it's 3:00am and the windows are open and there are deer in the front yard, she can raise quite a ruckus!!!
