The birds around here can get very noisy. This morning I woke up to a cacophony of bird calls, including robins, cardinals, and chickadees. And there were a couple of other calls I could not identify.
I asked myself, “Why do these birds have to be so noisy at 5:30 in the morning? Then, it occurred to me that these bird calls are their way of calling CQ. Bird calls are their way of advertising their presence and looking for another to contact.
I also think that sometimes they just sing for the fun of it. It’s what they do and enjoy. And why do we do ham radio? Because we enjoy it, of course!
