After a winter of heavy snow blanketing the woods creating a peaceful silence, the sounds of spring can be almost deafening.
Birds return. Frogs wake from their frozen slumber. The ice melting on the lakes creates its own unique sound.
“Some people tell me it sounds like a groaning whale or like a laser gun, a Star Wars noise, or like you just said a Doctor Who noise,” said Emily Heald, Water Program Coordinator at the North Lakeland Discovery Center in Manitowish Waters.
The sounds are most often heard in the morning and evening during the biggest temperature swings of the day.
