VickiR, have you gotten into the birdhouse business?

They have jobs. They like our birdhouses. They pay very little taxes and therefore, they are so happy that they must sing...all hours of the day and night! Just learn to enjoy it because they are telling their friends and their friends are heading this way, as well!
Ragdolls is probably right--I was going to suggest mockingbirds as well. They sing a lot (night time included) if they are looking for a mate. And since they are mockers, they will sing a variety of songs--so you might think its a lot of different birds when it really isn't.
We heard screeching this morning very early and saw that our Carolina Wren and her mate were having a fit on top of our car. They had 5 baby birds in one of our flower pots on our front porch railing, that hatched almost two weeks ago. We have been enjoying watching them grow. But, this morning there was only 1 baby bird left in the nest. Where did the other 4 go, as they were not quite ready to fly? After watering our flower pots we found our answer. A black snake came out of the pot next to the nest with a very full belly! I was really looking forward to seeing those little guys fly. They were just about ready. By the time my husband got a stick and moved the snake to our back wooded area, the lone baby bird disappeared. We have no idea where it went!
We had one the other night that kept me up too! Drove me crazy but it only did it for a couple of nights in a row. I believe it was a killdeer because I've seen a couple in the same part of the yard during the day. It would not shut up!!!! They sound like this:
A Chuck Will's Widow sometimes wakes me up at night, especially if he gets really close to the bedroom window. They can get LOUD. They are similar to the Whippoorwill in sound (and often mistaken for them).
