This morning, we woke to the sounds of new migrants singing outside our bedroom windows in Etna, in the early moments of dawn. The first one that caught our ear was a softly whining BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER. Then a HOUSE WREN promptly began loudly bubbling away. As the light increased, I heard a familiar soft "triller"; it was an ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER singing the slower (latter) portion of their typical song. Also, a single NASHVILLE WARBLER was singing its abrupt and more distinctly two-parted dry song. Finally, the multiple White-throated Sparrows in our yard were singing something about poor old Sam Peabody...
