dialogue: #Person1#: I had no idea the countryside was so noisy!
  #Person2#: It's usually very quiet in the North Carolina Mountains, Kathy. But this is the year of our 17-year bird calls.
  #Person1#: You mean it's only noisy right now for me and it won't be like this again until 2034?
  #Person2#: Well, it's not all summer long. They just come out when the weather gets cool, usually after a big storm. They'll be quiet after 4 or 5 weeks.
  #Person1#: Where do they go for the next 17 years?
  #Person2#: Oh, they live near the mountains for most of their lives. They just come down here to sing and do their special dances.
  #Person1#: Sounds like they're in the sky.
  #Person2#: Well, they're in the trees mostly.
  #Person1#: This is terrible. Now I don't want to walk under any of the trees in this forest. There's probably bird waste everywhere.
  #Person2#: So you don't have these in the city. I thought I heard them when I went to Atlanta Georgia.
  #Person1#: I've never heard anything like this before. California might not have them.
  #Person2#: Maybe they're just in the East.
summary: Kathy complains about the noise and #Person2# explains it's because it's the year of the 17-year bird calls. Then they discuss where the birds live.
