November sounds

Woke up sometime in the very-early morning to an inhuman screaming. I hope it was non-human. It sounded hurt and angry and wild. I have no idea where the sound was coming from; there is a dog down the street that barks, often, and it always sound like he's out in the middle of the marshes when he's away up Park Drive to the north. So I really cannot say where this noise was coming from. But it seemed really loud, and it was repeated over several minutes.

I'm hoping it was raccoons partying, Hallowe'en a little late.

Other than that, it is really, really quiet now. Stillness, calm air, reeds dry but not moving. The pond pump and waterfall have been turned off, just the occasional splish when a fish swims close to the surface.
