The dawn chorus is very obvious in the UK (or at least was 45 years ago before I left the place).

However Des's message has led me to reflect on whether I noticed the phenomenon in the US. I don't recall it from the Western US, which may reflect my not being conscious at dawn. However in NYC in Spring early runs past the Ramble in Central Park were accompanied by copious birdsong.

I am just back from the United States where we visited Yellowstone National Park. During a conversation with some
people interested in birds I mentioned that I had not heard a "dawn chorus". What is a dawn chorus came the reply?
This raises a question as to whether 'dawn choruses' are unique to Australia or else there is some other explanation?
I am uncertain as to how widespread in the world this phenomenon is?
