Now that we are in the hottest part of the summer, and the mid-point between solstice and equinox, the songbirds are getting pretty quiet. So one is glad to notice some new sounds. I've been hearing cicadas for about a week now in the city (although my brother says they have been buzzing in Bedford for longer than that). And last Tuesday night, for the first time this year, I heard crickets chirping in the evening. I've heard them every night now since. I associate both of these with high summer. On the other hand, one sound which I have not heard at all, and which I normally would have heard by now on warm evenings in my neighbourhood, is the peent of a Common Nighthawk. I haven't observed any in the city this summer. What other sounds are people noticing? Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax
