I was in time to catch the pre-dawn chorus today, and must say that:
1) It's amazing that something so mundane and irrelevant can lend such a feeling of rightness to the world.
2) I know lots of songbird species should have onomatopoeic names, but much like constellations you pretty much have to take grandma's word on it that it really makes the image or word she says it does. Either my feathered neighbours need to enunciate better or they're not saying "chick-a-dee" any more than those trapezoids look like the giant Orion.
