As the sun sets into the horizon and night descends making the forests dark and your line of sight limited, you rely a lot on your hearing. The sounds of nocturnal birds can be heard at a distance interspersed with the alarm calls announcing the movement of a predator like tiger or leopard. This sure is an experience that is not for the weak hearted.
