Cricket Crawl audio recorded in Baltimore City, Maryland. The main "jingle bells" chorus is Columbian trigs. There are Jumping Bush Crickets calling in the background (short bright chirps). The low mournful trills in the background are some sort of tree cricket. The quick rattles about 2/3 of the way through are Lesser Anglewings. - Thomas Wilson.
