2. I felt it was rather overly silent

At some points during this year (2025). At other times earlier I used to think some animal or bird song just sounded a bit “off”.

But these are sense impressions and it’s so hard to know if it’s a human worry (or a bias developed over time) skewing your perception and making your overly sensitive or not.

I am going to casually track local wildlife rhythms in my DU journal. Technically, I should sign up for Cornell Ornithology Lab’s ebird. But DU has forums for everything. That’s kinda neat.

I heard chipmunks alarm calling and rufous treepies chattering away in the last hour and a half.
