anyone else hear any cicadas tonight? definitely didn't hear any last night, so for me tonight was the first night I heard them.
Oh, and the whip-poor-wills also!!!
I like listening to the cicadas. To me it means mid to late summer, and we all know what comes next, bowhunting haha. The kids found some empty skins last weekend, but didn't hear them until recently too.
Funny the only time I have heard them has been down in Ohio until this year. For the last couple of weeks we have had one doing it's thing at night.
My encounter appears to be earlier than previous years and had me wondering a couple of things...was it just a periodical cicada I heard versus the dog-days cicada...we have had a pretty warm spring so maybe that is why I heard one so early...warm spring into summer = earlier breeding I hear.
I know the corn should only be waist high by 4th of July but this year might be closer to chest high or higher.
I always heard it was "knee high by the fourth of july"..Well, for you it probably is waist high...LOL
There are corn fields already chest high around our area.
