[Homestead] Night sounds

Porch sleeping has many moments. I hear coyotes having parties, I  
hear beavers cutting down my trees. Last night, unless I was  
dreaming, there was a wonderful ruckus of sounds that I cannot  
clearly describe, a large number of birds or animals, somewhat like a  
big flock of guineas going off, but, I swear, more like a flock of  
monkeys. Coyotes are capable of making many sounds, from "talking" to  
straight out howling. My best bet is a big flock of turkeys mortally  
upset by a coon getting into their tree, but I have never heard this  
sound before. High pitched and intense. Lasted perhaps half a minute  
and then all quiet.
