It's still a little early in the season for much singing insect
behavior here in Vermont, but so far it sounds pretty typical (which
is to say not much - a few crickets is about all. Give it another
month and we should be in the thick of it). Fortunately we have had
tremendous bird activity this year, where last year we hardly heard a
bird all year. That was scary.
