A chuck-wills-widow was heard this morning at 3:45 to 4:00 am from Roxy Cahoon Road just a little north of the village at the south end of Great Herring Pond. There is a small parking area and from there a distant Chuck was heard with about 6 Whips.
From the power lines adjacent to Whispering Pines in Plymouth on Sol (might be Solomon?) Joseph Road which is a continuation of Sandy Pond Road there were quite an assortment of raptors the best of which were 6 rather distance Mississippi Kites. These power lines are on the border of Plymouth/Bourne and gives quite a view of sky in several directions.
The cicadas were increasing in volume and quantity all through the early morning!
