There was another large similar fish nearby that was dead. This fish seemed surprisingly large to us for the shallow depth of this creek. In the first photo, there does appear to be a white patch on the left side of this fish. We estimate that this one was about three feet long!

Cassin's 17-year Cicada (Magicicada cassinii)

Observer

kswydner

Date

June 15, 2021 05:15 PM HST

Description

We heard Magicicada cassini calls twice when hiking a trail along Farrington Lake that parallels Farrington Lake. The calls were far enough apart along the trail to be coming from two separate individuals. There was no continuous chorus of cicadas so these appear to be two isolated individuals. We have recorded M. cassini and M. septendecim at other locations, but did not have recording equipment with us today. The first set of calls we heard consisted of a loud pulsing and the second set of calls included the characteristic few seconds of clicking followed by loud pulses of sound. This was not the "wee-oh" of the Pharaoh cicada, nor was it the sound of annual cicadas. crickets, etc. The pulsing can also be described like a brief "revving" of a chain saw. The clicking was absolutely like what we have heard from Cassini cicadas in other locations.

This recording was made by holding a mic right up to a pharaoh cicada on the branch of a bush. This was in the last block of Olden Lane in Princeton. Cicadas were VERY abundant here and some were in the process of emerging, perhaps due to a good rain in the area the day before.

This recording was made by holding a microphone right below a M. cassini cicada that was climbing fast up the trunk of a tree. He was on the move so I was only able to get this short recording. His song has clicking and a very loud and fast burst of sound !

Description

In Bicentennial Park and nearby Louise Drive in East Brunswick, there is a very diffuse emergence of Pharaoh Cicada - their "wee-oh" is faint and coming from "somewhere" in trees above. No individuals have been seen so far and we haven't found any carapaces yet. But they are definitely present in low numbers, generally one singing at a time but there are small clusters where one sings, then another. There are not enough to form a chorus. The song "wee-oh" is very faint on this recording , but I hope you can hear it. On this recording, you can also hear tennis balls being hit from the nearby tennis court and a chipmunk chirping and bird singing.

We heard this cicada while driving back from Farrington Lake Open Space on Farrington Blvd in a bushy overgrown area with trees near the power line cut. We returned and recorded it. We looked a bit and did not see any cicadas or find any carapaces, but the area was very overgrown. I would say there are not many cicadas at this location.

We went to Heathcote Meadows Preserve, starting at the Monroe Court entrance. There were enough cicadas here to form a chorus, but it was a kind of rhythmic chorus compared to the constant drone we could compare it to in the Princeton, NJ area. We saw one cicada flying nearby when we first parked, but it took us about another 10 to 15 minutes of looking to find this one to photograph. It was also not easy to find the shed exoskeletons, but we did find a few.

All of these photos are of the same cicada. Today the Pharaoh cicadas seemed to be in the minority at this private location, at least in the lower levels of vegetation near the ground.
