Early Morning Visitor.

A bird chirps every morning, it is for me, and the wife a greeting from Mother Nature. This greeting started three years ago, quite unexpected but needless to say a very welcome morning visitor. It is as if this one lone bird is the morning waker,up of all the birds in this area where we live. A chorus of bird’s songs are the outcome of the first early visitor. I would be the first to miss this Dawn Chorus presented by our feathered friends.

The chorus is with us every day. Rain, snow, even storms, cannot stop this greeting from our feathered friends. The chorus ends with the rising noise of the early morning traffic. Occasionally our early morning visitor comes back to the tree and trills another song much to my pleasure. I ask myself what will happen when my visitor is too old, who will take its place. Do all birds have a special conductor to start the Morning Chorus?

I once got up very early to try and see what bird it was that sang the first song. I am sorry to say I never did see it flying in to the tree. Perhaps it had spent the night in this tree. The morning greeting sounded sweet as ever, I was disappointed at not seeing the bird arrive but on this morning it sang as if it was singing just for me. Now I am sorry that I did not take a tape recorder with me to keep this wonderful song for future generations to listen to. The other birds had arrived or had they nested all night in the trees. The Dawn Chorus struck me as being a treat for my ears because I had taken the trouble to get up early.

Another thing for me to think about who started off this dawn Chorus was it something that the birds developed over the years and generations or was it I ask myself an order from up on high. Whatever I am grateful for the privilege of being wakened every morning summer and winter by this glorious singing of our feathered Friends. Bern
