Lee,
I find Eastern Yellow Robins giving their "pip-pip-pip" call are one of the
first birds to call at most sites and this call is also one of the last in
the evening. They do use this call during the day, but not as consistantly
as at dusk and dawn. I have heard both White-throated Nightjar and Southern
Boobooks call after EYR in the pre-dawn dark.
Other early risers in SE Australia are Laughing Kookaburra, Australian
Magpie and Pied Currawong.
Cheers,
Peter

Subject: [Birding-Aus] First bird call of the day
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 12:59:56 +1000
Hi All,
When I was on Fraser Island for Bird Week a few weeks ago I noticed that
the
first bird to start calling each morning was the Eastern Yellow Robin.
Last
weekend at the Bunya Mountains, again, the first call of the day was the
Eastern Yellow Robin.
Just curious if anyone else notices which birds in their areas are the
always the first to call each day and if it's the same ones each day?
Here in suburbia it's always Rainbow Lorikeets or Little Wattlebirds.
Happy Birding
Lee
