OK - I'm stumped.

We're at Lake Pemaquid and are being serenaded by this very rhythmic call at the lake edge.


Starts after dark and went on all night long. 

I can't find a frog or bird that matches.

What is this?

Katydid, understandably not familiar since it’s an insect that I think has been moving in from more southern climes.

We agree with Dave Cowan’s identification of a katydid…our camping experience in August in PA several years ago introduced us to these guys.  When they all get together they are deafening! :)  And yes, they go at it all. night. long.
