whistlers
Lips-only melody makers
Whistlers are people or things that whistle.
The word applies to various birds known for their whistling calls, particularly certain species of ducks and marmots.
In physics, whistlers are radio waves of audio frequency produced by lightning, which create a descending whistle when converted to sound.
The whistlers in the meadow turned out to be marmots warning each other of our approach.
