To our avian neighbors

[jducoeur]

Guys, I understand the whole "catches the worm" thing. And I appreciate the protestant work ethic of it all, really I do.

But c'mon -- 3:30am is a little early to begin with the gamboling-loudly-in-the-treetops. Birdsong is lovely to wake up to, but not right smack in the middle of the night. That's not just "a little before dawn": that's off by a timezone or two. I really think the little birdie alarm clocks need a little adjustment.

Sincerely,
The mammalian neighbors

Damn things woke me up too, but it was 4:15 or so here.

My problem's with whoever turned on the light.

Maybe they need a diagnostic port:

Our birds don't even shut up at night. The streetlight confuses them something fierce...

I think there is something to this.... because I live WAY out in the woods and our birds are right on time, just as dawn is breaking.

They may not be as off as you think.

According to weather underground, astronomical twilight around here was at 3:16 this morning, and nautical twilight was at 4:03. It's not shocking that the birds would notice it sometime between these points.

And, for the next month, it's only going to get worse...

Sympathy. Ours usually don't go off until 4:00 or 4:30.
