<<I still like the noise they make.>>

Especially at night. You can hear but not see them. I was in Southern Illinois when about 50,000 of them came over at the end of a 400 mile flight with the refuge 300 yards away. You couldn't hear the guy next to you.

I also got to hear a bunch of woodcock migrating one evening. They bounce more than fly as they go 50 yards at a time.

I think the neatest is a mallard hen cutting loose at dawn. Either that or the raspy cock pheasant during mating season.
