I find this very alarming ...

Kauai has it's roosters, California has it's alarm clocks, New York has it's traffic, Chicago has it's fire engines ... Maui has these critters!  Neither the roosters nor the quails have any sense of time it would seem. You will hear them off & on throughout the 24 hours, but they seem particularly chipper at sunrise.  Their calls or chatter is difficult to describe.  The Capt has interpreted it as quail #1 chirping twice to signal an announcement coming, secondly- hiccup chirps indicating how many have gathered together.  These sounds are echoed across the yard, or at times off into the distance ... almost as if they are reporting back that everyone is "ready".  It's one of those sounds that by day 2 or 3 ... it's just backround music!
