Any bird in the area who didn't know we are coming does after what All About Birds describes as "all sorts of chickenlike clucks, whinnies, cackles, squawks, and yelps. They often call while hidden from view, leaving you wondering what lurks in the marsh. The rapid series of clucks sounds vaguely raptorlike, but the series often ends with what sounds like a laugh." The clatter is often accompanied by or followed by them running across the water. The whole business is quite startling for all concerned.
