Cricket Crawl

One more Friday thing…

If you live near New York City and you like the idea of listening to animal calls in the dark, then you should know about this weekend’s Cricket Crawl. Hearty citizen scientists are taking to the leafy jungles of the Big Apple in search of crickets and katydids … and they will be finding them by listening to and recognizing their various sounds.

(I am not making this up!)

It is a very good thing that I do not live near New York City, because I could totally get into this sort of thing. And then my book would never get written.
