Rhapsody of the Winged Ones

This video was taken this morning between 6:15am and 6:30am. The beautiful backyard birds awoke me sometime around 5:30am and I gave up and decided to video record the delightful alarm clock nature has provided during my Spring Break. The birds leave after full daylight and then return when sunset begins for an encore presentation for about an hour or so. Once the sky is dark, all is quiet and peaceful in the backyard once again, until around 5:00am at which time the bird symphony plays on. I believe this symphony will soon be touring to other places as these birds were not here when we first moved here last summer. They must be on their way back up North. To help you get a sense of how loud the birds are, when I let Chester out in the back to do his "business" the birds were so noisy that Chester put his head and ears down and wanted to go back inside the house without doing his morning "duty." Realize that Chester is a 52 pound lab/beagle mix and although is friendly to other animals, has never been afraid of another animal, especially the feathered variety.
