I haven't seen any birds eating cicadas but they must be. I have two
cherry trees and every year, I hardly get any cherries off them because
the birds eat them before I can. This year, the trees are loaded with
ripe cherries and there is not a bird in sight. Very little is using my
feeders either - not even the squirrels.

The eagle looked down on the river below
And he wrapped his wings round him and he fell like a stone
And the big salmon fought but the talons held true
And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue
