<div dir="ltr">Thanks for sharing…many places the dawn chorus is that. It begins an hour before sunrise, and ends at sunrise.</div>

<div dir="ltr">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.<span></span></div>

<div class="PlainText">Hi again,<br>
<br>
There are several birding locations I visit repeatedly that have a <br>
definite<br>
<br>
drop off in activity in the middle of the day. They are all here in <br>
Skagit County<br>
<br>
although I don't suspect that has much to do with it - none of them are much<br>
<br>
change in elevation from each other - a couple hundred feet or so is <br>
about the<br>
<br>
maximum.<br>
<br>
If this helps - the dawn chorus here at our house starts around 6 and <br>
continues<br>
<br>
until after 7:30. We see birds at the feeders (hummer and seed) before <br>
7 most<br>
<br>
days.<br>
<br>
I typically go out for "2 to 4 hours" at a time.<br>
<br>
<br>
So, based upon the above - what time would you say is a good "early <br>
start"?<br>
<br>
- Jim in Skagit County<br>
