Greg,
Nice recording. Indeed, Oblong-winged katydid is the loudest infrequent
singer with many in the distance, there are Common trues katydids in the
background as well. There is also a background of tree crickets, probably
broad-winged and four-spotted tree crickets. It sounds like it was in the
mid to upper 60's when this was recorded.
There are american crows, cardinals, and a deer snorting in the background
as well.
Very nice piece.

So I have tried using Lang and Wil's book, The Sounds of Insects (which
I think is fantastic!) for the three calls on the recording below. One
I believe is the oblong-winged katydid (the creek...creek). They were
recorded the end of September at Catoctin Mountain Park in northern
Maryland, US.
The other two I can't figure out:
a large chorus of southeastern ground crickets?
The chee-chee-chee......chee-chee could be a common true katydid, but
again I haven't developed my ear for these calls yet.

I can't post a smaller version of this until this evening, sorry to
those with dialup.
