About this listen

In this episode my four students Abby, Danny, Kaleb, and Pieter talk about their recordings of the Dawn Chorus, and what we dug up from the scientific primary literature. The bottom line is very little is understood about why birds around the world sing together at dawn. We explore several hypotheses, and explore why science matters.

We also have Danny on site at Lytle Nature Preserve studying birds. A report from the field is always fun.
