I can hardly wait.

I HATE those things.

@PhoenixPhail I've always wanted to catch one, but I've not seen one in the wild. They are too sneaky.

@PhoenixPhail have a pair of earplugs handy.
I have to say, I love the sound. It's music to me.

@LordShadowfire when I was a kid I used to catch them with butterfly nets just to look at them up close, then I'd release them.

@robingoodfellow Same here, they tend to put me to sleep their sound is so soothing.

@robingoodfellow I'm glad you like their sound. It's just irritating to me. And I HATE when they dive-bomb me.

Little f***ers.
