Cicada

The morning began to warm enough for the cicadas to begin cycling up drowning
out the birdsong and the noise of the highway traffic in the distance.  Some
folks call cicadas locust, which they aren't; others call them katydids, which
they aren't either.  Many old-timers call them heat birds which is most apt in
description, for they sound their mating calls during the summer months when
the heat is at its worst.
