| A bird the color of rye bread chirped as it winged by and out into the distance until it became a mere dot in the sky. |
| A moment later, the intercom chirped and a deeply gruff voice spoke from the speaker. |
| Nakamura fished a cell phone from his pants pocket, and the device chirped as he thumbed the two-way communication button. |
| The quiet settled in like a warm blanket, no birds sang, no crickets chirped. |
| My feet sunk into the countless, forgiving blades as a cricket chirped and brown moths battered themselves against the dim porch light. |
| Birds chirped, fish jumped, foxes barked, trees and flowers were ablaze with color. |
