or does it seem like these are just way too plentiful this year?!!!

I haven't seen many but sure have heard them. Makes you want to yell "shut up" sometimes. I have been finding a few without heads for some reason when I do see them. They are still around but seem to be less than a few weeks ago. Can't take a video without hearing them in the background.

Just going by their sound , to me it seems there have been more in other years. Depends on where you live I suppose.
