I had those same thoughts this morning listening to a tufted titmouse!

[cayugabirds-l] Dawn chorus
I'm an early riser and today, as I sat in the early morning stillness, I heard for the first time this "Spring" the dawn chorus - the unmistakable voice of Robins; and with it a feeling of hope.

[cayugabirds-l] Dawn Chorus: Have You Seen a Salmonberry Bird?
https://www.dailykos.com/story/2020/5/31/1947630/-Dawn-Chorus-Have-You-Seen-a-Salmonberry-Bird This was interesting to me as I enjoy etymology as well as how different cultures derive different names for the same thing.

[cayugabirds-l] Dawn Chorus
I awoke this morning to the song a Winter Wren outside the bedroom window. Its first song was a short version of normal song but was followed by several bouts of typical, long song. In the middle of one of those songs, a Carolina Wren piped up with its trilling song. Neither bird is a resident for us, and I wished them well on their way south. Speaking of migration, we banded two Saw-whets at John Confer’s station last night, in spite of a light southerly breeze. One of them was a hatch year bird, only the second (or third?) of 28 this year. It was obviously a bad year for voles up north. Most of the birds banded this year have been second year birds (and later). The vast majority of the birds caught last year were hatch year so the second year birds this year are the survivors.

[cayugabirds-l] Dawn chorus
It's 20 degrees F, and snow is falling through the still air, heavy enough to hide the distant ridges from view. About on hour ago I had Fox Sparrows singing a short distance below my driveway and Hermit Thrushes singing over toward Beech Hill Road in the nature preserve. -Geo Tupper Rd, W Danby -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Dawn chorus?
Last night, around 1:00 a.m., I stepped outside to check the moon, and was greeted with a lot of different birds singing. Somewhat taken aback, I thought this was a bit too early for the dawn chorus, and further reflection indicated that MOCKINGBIRDS often sing at night. I haven't heard our local one for several months, and am wondering if, because of the harsh winter, it went to visit friends in Pa. for a while, and has just returned.Even more reflection (great time for it) showed that certain canids also sing to Luna, so I think this is a good example of convergent evolution. On a kind of related note, on my morning walk yesterday, I heard a BROWN THRASHER doing a credible imitation of a whip-poor-will. First time I've heard one doing that.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Dawn chorus?
Several years ago at Salt Point I heard a Brown Thrasher include Whip-poor-will in its repertoire. I wondered if the mimid had heard the nightjar at that location. Similarly last year (I think) where a Whip-poor-will had earlier called near The Strand in Lansing, a Gray Catbird give a similar but imperfect call, perhaps having only just learned it from the bird (or from birders' playback attempts) wiith little opportunity for rehearsal. It each case it was a bit like hearing an echo of a bird that had probably moved on. --Dave Nutter On Apr 29, 2015, at 06:30 AM, Susan Fast sustf...@yahoo.com wrote: on my morning walk yesterday, I heard a BROWN THRASHER doing a credible imitation of a whip-poor-will.
