[WVDXA] 17 Year locust

[Philip M. Roberts]

This is the year for the 17 year locust. The noise they are making 
during the day is awful at this location.
However, we now have 100s of Cedar Wax Wing birds in our yard each 
day eating the locust. We have had a few Wax wings each year, but 
never have we had so many.
The birds seem to like sitting in our Walnut trees to catch the locusts.

Here is a link to see this beautiful bird.

BTW our yellow billed cuckoo has returned and we see that bird in our 
yard also.
