Back Again on November 3, 2008

I heard the very loud sound of Cigarras again on Nov 3, 2008.

It seems they travel all over town. From our verandah you can hear the chorus of Cigarras singing loudly from various districts in town. They move en masse from place to place. They may stay at our house for one to three days then move on, only to return again another day.





This fellow was sitting on the power pole this time. Notice he is on the back of the pole hiding from the bird. The bird can hear him but cannot see him. After a couple hours both the Cigarra and the bird left. I don't think the bird got his snack.





This one was back in the tree.




They have been around town since early September. Here we are in November and they are still here.
