Why are you grumpy??

Crickets? I wouldn't kill them. Bad luck.

It was probably spring peepers, since crickets wouldn't be making any noise this time of year. (It's too early and too cold for them.)
The spring peepers are these little itty-bitty frogs that have a call that beats the band. The best way of describing it would be to ask if you ever saw an old Sci-fi movie call "Them!"
It's an old black and white horror movie about giant ants out in the Nevada desert.
The sound they used for the ants in the movie is almost identical to that of the spring peepers.
Depending on your location, you could also have some tree frogs, which are more like toads, and they also start their chorus in the spring.
Ain't nature grand?

....I do have some peepers, but I normally see the crickets lined up outside the garage doors in the morning.....they must think I'm serving soup out of there or something.

I got rid of the one that made it into the garage - Professor, let the bad luck cometh!!

Bloo....Last night I stepped outside and spotted a skunk in the neighbors yard. I stood and watched it for a few. Then started to listen to the owl the racoons going at it and also heard some ducks chattering (in there sleep??!!!) oh yea and the peepers too. Then I thought to myself "imagine there are people who have to listen to sirens all night etc. and I am so lucky to have this"
