First stop in Bayside near Mike's house yielded only field crickets. At Crocheron Park (still Bayside), Field Crickets and the sought after Northern True Katydid were calling. Next stop was Alley Pond Park. Listening from the perimeter of the park at 233rd and 67th Avenue, Mike heard the same singers as he heard from inside: Northern True, Jumping Bush Cricket, Field Cricket, and Lesser Angle-wing. He also reports seeing Spring Peepers (which are not crickets or katydids, but chorus frogs!) clambering up the trunks of sweetgum trees, as well as many other usually overlooked creatures of the night, such as millipedes and slugs...
Next stop Cunningham Park!
