From 1030 pm until the sun rises again, this melodious songbird serenades the entire neighborhood with his cacophony of sounds. He's not skilled in one song- but sings 6 or 7 different songs... sort of like those car alarms that give a multitude of alarms to get your attention.
I recently read the classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" So... Why is he public enemy #1? For the past week this loud and exuberant songster has been singing t attract a mate... literally all day and night long. Last year he was perched on our chimney but this spring he inhabits the eucalyptus trees on the hillside in back of our house.
I've tried several things to tune him out. I've closed the window- it works but--- no fresh air. Earplugs and a window fan. The last few nights, closing the window seems to work... but last night it was too warm, so I turned the fan on and I was able to sleep through until his warbling broke through at 5:30 am.
I certainly hope he finds his mate and will become silent again soon.
