Like Bill Jolly I have found that loud cicada days are days on which birding can be very poor. I can only think:

1. With the loud noise we can't hear bird calls so well, so we have less luck with spotting them

&

2. birds actually avoid areas with loud cicada noises because they can't hear very well and therefore that area would be dangerous for them.
