wild geese honking

This morning, as for the last several mornings, I heard a great clamoring of geese as I was waking up.  So much honking quacking barking, squawking. It sounded like a goose revolution. It was a nice morning so I walked out on my balcony to see where the geese were.  From the noise they were making I was expecting at least 100 of them.  I looked down at the river, still hearing the same volume of sound, spotted the geese and counted seven of them.  It got me thinking, if seven geese can make such a clamor what must the noise been like when the first Indiana citizens lived here 200 years ago.  Add to the geese the birds chirping, bugs chattering and frogs croaking and I wondering if they got any sleep at all.  Could explain their irritability with the Indians.
