In my part of Brisbane, the crows are consistently the first cab off
the rank, starting well before dawn - often a good half hour before the
lorikeets and kookaburras.

into my
bedroom window long before light falls on Penrith in the valley below.

I have found that the EY Robins are the first to call during the 'day
proper', just on first light, but consistently I have found that if
Kookaburra's are in the area they beat the EY Robins by up to an

before dawn.
The same seems to happen on dusk, where the Robins are usually the
last
to call, but the Kooka's invariably have the 'last laugh', just after
dark.

Does anyone know of any area where there are Eastern Yellow Robins,
but
some other species beats the Robins to first call?

PS Not sure, but I think crows might be the first to call here in
suburban
Hawthorne (Brisbane). Early risers, are crows.
