Tree Cricket
Dear MF,
This is some species of Tree Cricket in the genus Oecanthus, and as a group, they are quite vocal. One species, the Snowy Tree Cricket, it also called the Thermometer Cricket because one can calculate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit by counting the chirps in 13 seconds and then adding 40 according to Charles Hogue in Insects of the Los Angeles Basin. See BugGuide for more information on Tree Crickets.
