Hi Mark,

Oh yes we have Cicada's but around here they only (as far as I know) make
their noises during the day - that sort of high pitched buzz that they do.
If it were them at night too, I would also imagine I would hear them in
other places besides this area in Mansfield.

Hmmm

OK, searching for help on what little info I can provide . . . night
time
critter, a bug of some sort I believe, heard in the trees in the yard of
a
house in Mansfield, MA. I live 45 minutes north of this house and I
don't
have these and I have friends that live on Cape Cod and they don't have
them
either.

Basically a two-syllable noise, sort of cricket like but not your
typical
black cricket 'chuuurup' - they make more of a rickety wood sound, like
if
you stepped on a loose board or if you had a sorta squeaky shoe.
"reeeh-eh reeeh-eh" - hard to tell if it's one making both syllables or
if
it's two, each w/its own syllable answering eachother. Each syllable
only
lasts 1-2 seconds. Very quick back and forth.

They are 100% definitely in the trees, not in the grass and they are
fairly
loud. Usually I can 'google' stuff and find things out but I don't know
where to even start - I'm hoping somebody on here has 'em too.

TIA
LeeAnne


Based on your description, could be a Cicada, but I didn't
think they ranged that far North.

The truth as I perceive it to be.
