We see them in winter in Florida and yes, they are always noisy. There's usually three or four of them hanging with a big crowd of other species on a high spot at low tide - white pelicans, skimmers, cormorants... and the OCs make racket in the midst of them too. The OCs are always on the edge of the crowd - I imagine it's because the other species move as far away from them on the little high spot they're sitting on to get away from their chatter...
