Rob, now you have my attention. Fascinating.
 
Could it be another sort of insect? The wood itself, contracting as the  
temperature drops? Have you ever heard it during the day?
 
I hope someone on the list will have a viable answer, with no sarcastic  
baloney. This is interesting.

'Tis the  season, to bring up the firewood. I brought up maybe a cord
last week.  Mixed woods, I cut out that which offends. Some crooked
oaks, sweet gums  and a tree that I identify as winged elm.

Is winged elm impossible to  split? The tree probably fell 2 months
ago, I bucked it 2 weeks ago and  it's not splitting. I broke off a
wedge in it.

All of this wood is  probably going to be next years firewood. I've
decided that if the money  holds, it would behoove me to buy some
firewood in and cheat to get a year  ahead.

I have a nice stack of that cord of wood. It is however, singing  to
me. I hear something, not crickets chirping in it at night. Not a  fast
chirp, a slow one. Creek, Creek Creek. What could that be? I  can't
spot anything, even at night with a flashlight.
