Instead, we've combined classic late-night bird sounds with a few lesser-known, but no less inspired, nocturnal melodies, to create a playlist of the most captivating nighttime bird songs to be found in North America. Still, there are too many birds that sing at night - or at least late into the evening - to easily list here. Ambient sounds are minimal and there is less competition - at least vocally - with other birds. In both cases, the night holds advantages. Others, like Northern Mockingbirds, are typically active during the day but will vocalize into the night when searching for mates. Why do birds sing at night? Some species, like the Eastern Whip-poor-will, are nocturnal and only communicate after dark because that's when they're awake. He would die less than a year later in Paris on July 7th, 1971.For good reason, birds are emblematic of the morning - that's when many are most vocal - but some species find their voice after dark, and listening to these birds chirping at night can be a uniquely enchanting (or eerie) experience. Fortunately, the bail was only $25, which Morrison paid and was released. She called the police, who took him into custody. He fell asleep outside the house of Elenor Brough, and when she found him in the morning, she tried to wake him but could not. The final arrest of Jim Morrison before his tragic and untimely death came in 1970 after a heavy night of drinking and was probably his least serious offence. Morrison turned himself in a month later and was convicted of indecent exposure and public profanity. A warrant for Morrison’s arrest was issued for lewd behaviour, indecent exposure, public profanity and public drunkenness. During the speech, someone from the audience poured champagne over Morrison, which led to Morrison removing his shirt, holding it over his crotch and pretending to masturbate. Morrison had stopped the band during ‘Touch Me’ and went off on a speech about the nature of love and hate. The Lizard King managed to make it over a year before he was arrested again, this time in 1969 at another Doors concert. He was strip-searched and thrown into a cell, but Robert Grover – who Morrison had been with that night in Las Vegas – called his girlfriend, and she paid the bail for the pair’s release. He was arrested but also took his taunting to the police too. Morrison taunted the security a got a whack to the head.

Morrison had been pretending to smoke a cigarette like a joint, and the security guards became irate with his behaviour. Morrison’s history of arrests was not going to end any time soon, and less than two months after the New Haven concert, he was again arrested for public drunkenness in January 1968. The police rushed onto the stage and arrested Morrison for inciting a riot and public obscenity. Later that night, Morrison took to the microphone during the performance to scathingly attack the officer, calling him a “little blue man in a little blue hat”. A police officer told them to leave, but Morrison refused and was attacked by the officer with a can of mace. As documented in Oliver Stone’s 1991 film about the band, Morrison had been backstage with a lady friend, kissing in the shower. He had been teasing the police presence at the show during the band’s performance of ‘Back Door Man’. The following year in 1967, Morrison was arrested during a Doors performance in New Haven, Connecticut, for inciting a riot. However, the charges were dropped when O’Leno returned home. During the investigation, it was revealed that Morrison had kissed a 14-year-old girl without her permission, and he was arrested. O’Leno’s family were understandably deeply distressed and got the police to investigate. When the group returned from the journey without O’Leno, Morrison joked that he had killed his friend and buried him in the desert. During a road trip with some classmates, one of Morrison’s friends, Phil O’Leno, went missing. Morrison’s following arrest came less than three years later, in 1966, when he was taken into custody on charges of sexual assault. Morrison had been making fun of the game’s players and fans, and he stole a police officer’s helmet from a squad car after the authorities had been called. Alcohol would play a big part in Morrison’s short life, and this was the first of many times that booze would feature in one of his arrests. During Morrison’s academic stint at Florida State University, he was taken into custody for public drunkenness during a college football game. Jim Morrison’s first arrest came in 1963, on September 28th, when he was arrested for disturbing the peace.
