That time, in the early hours before dawn,holds the promise of rising light and the awakening of the birds. Bird voices growing from the southern marsh, the eastern meadow, the western plains, even as the excitement grows in those who wait to catch sight of, or to photograph the birds. They are an ancient family of great beauty and variety. From the comfortable presence of the backyard song birds to the exotic wading birds stalking the edges of the sea, birds make our planet a more joyful place.
