Dawn Chorus

The Dawn Chorus is the symphony of sounds created by morning-active birds as they sing at sunrise. This natural phenomenon occurs because, at dawn, birds establish territory and attract mates, leading to a burst of singing activity. The chorus varies by species and location, creating a rich, layered acoustic landscape. It is most prominent in spring and early summer and serves important roles in bird communication. The Dawn Chorus also signals the start of daily activity for many ecosystems and is appreciated by nature observers for its beauty and the sense of vitality it conveys.
