You Can Hear the Sunrise - Greg Anderson

​I like to rise early in the morning, as dawn is the most fascinating time of the day for me. I know you can watch the sunrise, but did you know you can also LISTEN to a sunrise, in a manner of speaking? The process starts with a lone bird song. After about two minutes, another bird off in the distance will answer the first bird’s call/song. Shortly thereafter, a third bird will join in and so the process goes, until a symphony of bird songs fills the morning sky, along with the risen sun. For about an hour, one can hear an orchestral concert of sorts by many birds, some of whom you won’t hear for the remainder of the day. At dusk, the process reverses itself, until darkness prevails, and all is quiet, including the birds. So, the next time you sit outside and watch a sunrise, don’t limit yourself to just watching, try listening too, because there is so much more going on behind the scenes.
