I wasn't expecting any cicadas this year, so I was surprised when an adult appeared on the deck railing at my shop on Tuesday. I remember seeing a Tufted Titmouse grab one at this very location many years ago, as fierce as a tiger pouncing on a deer! Tuesday's bug was luckier. It posed quietly for a picture. A few minutes later it was gone, and shrill singing came down from the treetops.
Anyone know what this all-black species is? -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
