Hi John & All,                        June 19, 2013
    The 'mystery' of there being fewer birds where cicadas are present =
disappears in an apocalyptic inversion if this relationship is viewed as =
a case of 'cicadas being present where birds are less abundant'.

    If the cicada-eating bird population in an area is high enough then =
cicadas will be eaten shortly after emergence (when their exoskeleton is =
still relatively soft) leading to many birds and few or no cicadas. If =
the opposite holds; low population of cicada-eating birds in an area =
then many cicadas will survive leading to few birds and many cicadas.=20
Yt, Dave Webster
