The Brood XIII, 17-yr. cicada activity in the Chicago area has all but ended. What remains are dead insects all over the ground. Hence, tomorrow (Saturday 7 July) will be the last day of the stream.
The National Public Radio affiliate in Chicago did a feature on the stream today. You can hear it here: http://audio.wbez.org/848/2007/07/848_20070706g.m3u
If you missed hearing the stream and can't wait until the next brood in 2024, or you did listen but would like to reminisce, I put up a page of selected excerpts here: http://www.petergena.com/17yrcicada.html
Thanks for listening, Peter
