Shortly after the new webcam came up, I connected as a UP stacker was going by slowly, probably coming out of Global III, and there was a terrible screeching noise that sounded like bearings about to fail.  

When the last car went by, I figured out that it was one or more birds.  I am guessing they were on top of the pavilion near the microphone.  I thought it was pretty funny when I realized what the noise was.
