would be average. Not sure&nbsp;how you define the dawn c --089e011615f2f80e3004defaf8a7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, My usual experience at dawn is to listen out the open bedroom window in a half-awake state. I haven't really noticed any decrease in the last few years, and in addition to the Robins, we are regularly serenaded by Cardinals, a Baltimore Oriole (for the last 2 weeks or so), Chickadees, W-thr. Sparrows, a Chipping Sp., Goldfinches and often passing Mallards and geese. Interestingly, I can rmember from years ago before I came to Canada, a much louder and more varied dawn chorus in England, but the majority of this was also made up of Turdus thrushes, e.g. Blackbirds and Song thrushes etc., whereas here we only have the one species.
