I have a Carolina Wren who is my "mobile alarm clock." After singing for a few minutes right new my window, the wren flits up the way a bit and performs this service near another windowsill (and is hopefully appreciated, too).

They look for a good sounding board to notify honey bunch and by golly the gutter does wonders. It will ruin sleep if you are a late sleeper. Short of elimination, I don't know of an answer. I use mine as an alarm clock, time to get up. James Crumpler You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General.
