Marshall, 1941-2 Cicada virgata Mt Cacagnatique Dec 25-Jan 6 Common in pine shade trees and oaks- usually along ridges. Called mostly at moonrise, but 1st specimen & would answer, hoots only if could get close to after long time. Heard usually about 4 or 5 pairs in nights walk - a pair on every ridge or so. Dec 29 & 1630 low notes eyeslime pink - taken near summit of W ridge in dense oaks answered continually when finally got started. Jan 7 & 1704 taken in low oak growth in dry east canyon - allowed close approach- good shine. Perched in interior part of tree as did 1630. Notes very high - higher than I could get with falsetto. Notes: who- whooo, whoos, huh. 1st & last heard only at close range. & pitch & quality of & spotted owl; & very much higher & of qualling pinched quality. & also gives a long descending rough note.
