[Tweeters] How Early is Early?

Thanks for sharing…many places the dawn chorus is that. It begins an hour before sunrise, and ends at sunrise.

A few years ago, when we were younger, the wife and I did a Chelan Co. Big Day. We started off with the dawn chorus at the pond near the Forest Service nursery near Camas Meadows. I can’t recite exact numbers, but for a start it was amazing.

Hi again,

   There are several birding locations I visit repeatedly that have a
definite

drop off in activity in the middle of the day.  They are all here in
Skagit County

although I don't suspect that has much to do with it - none of them are much

change in elevation from each other - a couple hundred feet or so is
about the

maximum.

   If this helps - the dawn chorus here at our house starts around 6 and
continues

until after 7:30.  We see birds at the feeders (hummer and seed) before
7 most

days.

   I typically go out for "2 to 4 hours" at a time.


   So, based upon the above - what time would you say is a good "early
start"?

                                          - Jim in Skagit County
