Same here........so far.

Full on Cicada invasion last week in Etowah

Plenty of em in south Montgomery Co. Can't hear squat, barely hear a turkey gobble at 250 yds

They here somewhat ever year…they was a hatch…probly 99 or 2000 there abouts…an there was thousands of them everywhere…ever tree in our yard had their husks by the hundreds on the trunks…they blanketed the ground an you couldnt walk without crunchin them. Aint seen a one here jn marshall county yet. As for what we called them…red eyed an green eyed locusts…i know they aint a locust..but thats what everbody i ever knowed called them my whole life…i never heard of a cicada til i was like 15…an that come from our yankee neighbor.. pawpaw called a mayfly(willowfly) a june fly an a july fly on acount of the hatches…we freezed them thangs by the ziplock bag full…whoop a bloogal bed down. Bass will destroy cicadas that land on the water…an their carcass makes a nifty homemade topwater bait

They are kinda patchy around here. Just the regular yearly kind immediately around my house but just a mile away will make you consider putting in your earplugs.

whats the reason for that?

We have them thick on Dauphin Island every year. Haven’t heard them yet this year though.

They are so loud in Butler county you can here them while inside the house.

They got started in Choctaw County last Friday.
It’s amazing how loud they are right now.

Yall talking about locus and tumble turds.

The tree line behind the house makes a perpetual high pitch buzz sound. Luckily it's far enough away to just be noticed and not overwhelming. Whatever eats them things should be so fat it can't move anymore.

Well what is a katty did? Some of you would just be too much fun to hang around with.

There are different species of cicadas, and different broods (cohorts within a species) that emerge at different times. Every county has the annual cicada we all see and hear every year. They’re dark green/black with greenish yellow eyes. The massive brood occurring this year is a completely different species that emerges in cycles, or broods, every 13 years. Here is a map of the different broods of 13 and 17 year cicadas in North America. Those counties in AL in blue are the counties that should see this brood this year. Outside of those counties they either are absent or just haven’t been recorded before.

Do they sound like a mix between a tree frog and a goose?

Because if that’s what’s making the sound behind my house I’ve got tons of them
