What are your favorite sounds in the outdoors?

[Outdoors Junkie]

The favorite outdoors smell's thread has had a lot of replies.  So, why not start a new topic about outdoor sound.  What is (are) your favorite sounds to hear when you are outside enjoying our great outdoors?

[Outdoors Junkie]

I have a lot of favorite sounds in the outdoors.  One new one I heard this fall was a bull elk bugeling.  I was out in the Black Hills in SD last fall.  I was hiking with my two boys and we heard this bull elk.  It was so cool to hear in real life out in the wild!

Definitely Loons.

I agree with loons!  As I'm sleeping I like crickets & frogs "singing" (in the distance).  And the gently slapping of waves on the shoreline! Being a storm nut-I LOVE Thunder! ::rockon::

Loons, doves in flight, whipoorwills, owls....very relaxing.

  chainsaw cuttinga tree in the distance..  the splashing sound a rock makes when thrown into the lake .   the laughter of my boys when they catch a fish ............. and so on  and so on  !!!

As a bow hunter I have come to enjoy so meny sounds and sites  that it is hard to pick  a favorite so I will say the most exciting is the sound of my heart pounding in my ears as the game approaches from the back and I know I don't dare turn to see if it is mr big or exactly where it is at.

There are alot of outdoor sounds that I love but my favorite is actually the lack of sound of the kids fighting (so i guess I love the silence). I really love waking up to the birds chirping first thing in the morning.
On the other hand there is also an outdoor sound I dont like, and that is the sound of a screaming bobcat. That has got to be one of the worst sounds I have ever heard.

Loons are right up there....actually it is probably a toss up for me.
Loons, canadian geese and the howl of wind through the wings of diving ducks when they are coming down hard and fast.

Well....one more.....
Bald eagles singing is pretty hard to beat.

[Mayfly]

Loons are great.....another favorite is the sound that woke me up today! A rooster cackling! This thing sounded like it was right outside my door. When I got up to look around...nothing. Sneaky little bastards

[Outdoors Junkie]

Another great sound is water trickling down a small stream.  Unless you have to go potty.  Then that only makes the urge worse.

1)Loons   2)Wolves howling   3)The shwloop a zara spook topwater makes on a mirror still bay on a summer days end in the bwca(somthing about the bwca water makes it sound cooler...)           -Thunderpout 8)

Definitely the sounds of Coyotes howling and screeming at night.  It is really neat when they wake you up in the middle of the night and sound like they are just out your window.  #2 Would be wolves and only when they are a long ways away other wise they make the hair on my neck stand up!!!  And I wonder if I will be missing a calf in the morning!

Sitting in the tree stand deer hunting listening to the chickadee's tweet and the snow falling on the dry leaves.
If you're warm and comfortable it's very relaxing.

[Grute Man]

Forgot one.  How about the ice popping, creaking, and moaning on a frozen lake.  (not sure how else to describe it.)   ::brr

[iceman]

1) the first crack of a high powered rifle during deer season
2) ice augers running.. :rock:

[guythathunts]

I lkie the sound of nothing. And the sound of ........................ BANG!

[holdemtwice]

 sitting on the porch  and hearing a woodpecker  pecking a tree and nothing else .

[Outdoors Junkie]

wood snapping and popping in a camp fire.

[Outdoors Junkie]

a wolf howling in the distance

[holdemtwice]
