greatbearFor the past couple days, I have set a mic on a stand outside of the studio window to try and capture the cicadas in action. This clip captures the entire 'orchestra' of cicadas as they are fading out, but also highlights a couple 'soloists' in the trees closest to my yard.
Since the earth here had been farmland or had been repeatedly disturbed during the house contruction, there are only a few, if any, of the usual 'horde' that arrives in these parts. The sound of the cicadas en masse comes from about a quarter mile away or so, from the forested area surrounding a nearby lake/reservoir. The individuals are coming from the trees on the edge of my property, roughly 200 feet from the mikes.

Dig the sound capture. Much better than a photo.
