The Brood XIII, 17-yr. cicada activity in the Chicago area has peaked. There are an increasing number of dead cicadas on the ground, meaning that their party (mating) is ending. However, I still read an SPL of 85 DB in my yard today at 1 PM. The chirping will gradually die down until the first few days of July. I expect to end the stream around that time.
Chicago Tribune article on this stream can be found here: http://www.petergena.com/cicadas.html
Thanks for listening, Peter
