There are certain sounds which attract the immediate attention of people and set off instinctive reactions. Car alarms and sirens are two good examples.
At the first sound of a car alarm, most of those present instantly look around to see what occurred. It may be simple and harmless as the owner accidently hitting the panic button on the key fob, or something much more serious.
The long high pitched scream of a siren likewise engenders an innate set of reactions. If in traffic, the first thought is where to quickly pull off the roadway so the first responders may arrive at the quickest possible moment to those is desperate need of aid.
Summer nights in Leon County are unique for their frenetic activity and riotous sounds.
In contrast to local February evenings with its silence broken by the occasional barred owl, this summer (technically late spring) month is nearing the pinnacle of activity for bugs, birds and animals of all kinds.
Anyone taking an early evening walk in North Florida between late spring and early autumn has experienced the near deafening calls of cicadas (Magicicada spp.).
In days past this earsplitting insect was more commonly identified as a locust in the southeastern U.S. with their mechanical buzzing originating from the protection of foliage in trees and bushes during the day or twilight hours.
