Add me to the list of confused. If we're talking about the same "chirping" sound, it's definitely NOT bird or bat. I have three in the neighborhood here in Dallas that are driving me nuts. It's a pleasant sound I've seen described here al like a smoke detector with low battery power and that sounds about right. Here they come in a sort of pattern like "CHIRP!.....chirpchirp chirp..........chirp........ " and seem to be answered by others in the neighborhood. I have one right now outside my window and have been trying to see what it is. This is the first time I've heard one so close to the ground (About 3 feet up in an ornamental cedar) and narrowed the search to within a foot before really digging in with flashlight in hand and found NOTHING!
I waited a while and it started up again in about the same place. I thing the frog guessers may be right, although I wasn't aware of any in this area but mark my words; I WILL find the bugger...

Or I'll give up and enjoy the mystery.
