Early morning cacophony on Caesar Pond

Crrrraaaaazzzyyy early morning on Caesar Pond. At 4am, two loons started calling in a wild way, which set off a barred owl to hooting. This set off some coyotes to howling and yipping, which scared up some mallards that started quacking, all accompanied by the spring peeper choir. This lasted for about 10 minutes and then all went still again...

We need to get the sound recorder over to the pond by 3:30am, on calm mornings, because we missed recording all of this. Drew was on the porch listening while I was fumbling and bumbling and practically falling out of bed in my haste to hear it all...
