“a dawn picnic to hear the first birdsong”; the act of rising in the early morning to watch the birds or to go outside to appreciate nature.

Love this 💐 Wish we had more words to embrace nature in the English language.
Agree with you Val.
“Morning song” is the phrase. At least that’s what I’ve always used to speak about bird song in the early morning.
we’re going to go with that Doug.
Good! It evokes warmth, a slow and pleasant awakening to me.
Really early in the morning is the best time!
It sure is!
This word was made for me- thank you
Awesome.
WOW 😲
Nice 👍👍
Thank you Mike.
Gokotta wouldn’t be in my vocabulary even were I Swedish, lol, but what lovely pristine shots you took. Also, I Bookmarked “The Hammock Papers” so, thank you for that as well!
Ha! Thank you!
Love it! 👏
Thanks Karen

Yes!!!
So, of course, I had to google how to pronounce it… And I love that there is a term for this.
I am rather jealous of you being able to capture a young Blue Jay…
Blind squirrel. She stepped right in front of the lens.
No matter. You were ready!! 🙂
Truth!
And we are all the luckier for it 😉
