"Crickets" should include "Frogs", as their calls are frequently mistaken for one another.

Some seasons, frog calls can be overwhelming during daylight hours, when Loons are generally quiet. (Except when Ultralight aircraft and Bald Eagles appear over the treeline).

Cicadas are in that same grouping as crickets and frogs, too.
