The Joy of Morning Birdsong-SOLC Day 3

The last few days, I have been awakened by birdsong again! It is an absolutely lovely alarm clock. It brings a smile to my face as I awaken my senses to the day. It is such a treat to reenter consciousness in this joyful way.

This is such a change from the absolute silent mornings through all of January and the majority of February. I don’t blame the birds for not singing when the temperature barely rose above 20 for a high each day. I would stay tucked away somewhere warm too. (Actually, I did huddle inside more than I usual do.)

I wonder what has triggered their return to praising the beginning of the day.

Is it that morning temperatures have been more Spring-like- high 30s to 40s?

Is it because daylight arrives between 6:30-7:00?

Do they have an internal clock to tell them that Spring is only a few weeks away and they are getting ready to celebrate its arrival?

Or it could be something else I would never even think about.

All I know is that I have loved the warmer morning temperatures and the increasing daylight too. The birds are expressing my happiness to the world as well in their morning songs. I hope they will continue to sing each day even after the time change next weekend. Fingers crossed.
