Hello All,
Birded the Runaround Pond Road in Durham from Route 9 to the Runaround Pond boat launch from 5 AM to 7 AM.
Highlight was a Vesper Sparrow, which I have a difficult time finding anymore. Interestingly I had one in this area on the Maine Breeding Bird Atlas in the early 80's. It was singing but feebly. This was at the corner of Route 9 and Runaround Pond Road.
Also Singing were Eastern Meadowlark and Brown Thrasher--the thrasher in usual spot around the margin of the Dugas gravel pit.
Before dawn I heard two Barred Owls, one Great Horned Owl. A single hoot may have been a Long-eared but it was distant so that is questionable however there were also some raspy calls from a flying bird that I could neither identify nor visually locate.
There were four Wilson's Snipe some winnowing and calling and at least one American Woodcock heard.
Savannah Sparrow was FOY for me as were three Hermit Thrushes singing near the boat launch.
I did not hear Pine Warbler today but did yesterday in the usual spot in the vicinity of the boat launch. No other warblers were found.
