G- Dawn Chorus

When the sun comes up, the birds begin to sing. Birds sing to defend their territory and attract a mate. You might be able to hear some birds singing now, but if you were here just before sunrise on a spring morning, you would hear hundreds of birds all singing at once in the dawn chorus. Dawn is the perfect time to sing as there is less background noise and the air tends to be still, so sound carries around 20 times further than it would later in the day.
