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.
