T | Too funny. & i was wondering about them last night as I read recently they were expected to start coming out. and there they are! right on time! How's the noise? |
mockingbird | The noise is just really starting up. It was faintly in the background this weekend and is slightly louder today. I'll try to get a recording tomorrow. It really is something.------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
mockingbird | A pretty unexciting video (for the audio) from this AM. I'll take another if it gets significantly louder later. http://youtu.be/-zwK3SHxGbo ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

mockingbird | I just got in from the gym this morning, and, wow - they've gotten louder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO42RHy3Hzs Excuse the shakiness. Arms day.

Randall | Still noisy??? |
mockingbird | Even noisier today since we're in the 90s. I'll take another video later while I'm doing outside chores. Just got back from the gym and am checking on computer-y things while eating lunch. w00t. |
mockingbird | This is in my driveway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tDNG5AjKww It's probably louder out back, but I honestly haven't gone there yet. One thing you don't get from the videos: Especially in wooded areas like this, it feels like you're *inside* the sound. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

Randall | Later today. Things a bit hectic at the moment. Multi-tasking. |
mockingbird | Somewhat oddly, they're rampant in the southern part of my county but not so in the north: http://fairfaxstation.patch.com/articles/weird-virginia -cicadas-naked-strolls-crows-in-closets-kitty-litter-in-the-pool ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

Randall | Thankfully it doesn't last long. |
Randall | Is it a mating season thing? |
mockingbird | Yep! Once every 17 years, they wiggle out of the ground, find a mate, do the deed, lay their eggs, and kick off. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
