Last weekend, just as I was waking up I heard a very strange sound coming from the backyard.  It sounded like a rooster crowing.  But wait – we don’t have a rooster!  I thought, no – must be the ravens cawing and I’m just not awake yet.  But then there it was again – a sort of cackling, crowing, cockadoodling. …
