dawn choruses
Sunrise avian concerts
Dawn choruses are the collective singing of birds at first light, when many species vocalize simultaneously.
The phenomenon peaks during breeding season, when males compete for territory and mates.
The phrase extends to any early-morning cacophony: The dawn chorus of construction equipment woke me at six.
