You never know where the inspiration for a song will come from! I was watching one of my favorite weekend shows, "CBS Sunday Morning", when a segment ended with a question: 'Why do birds sing so early in the morning in the spring?' After the commercial the answer, 'It's biology' flashed on the screen. I have always wondered why birds start singing at 4 AM - but have always known it was a sure sign of spring. It's mating season, and there's not a minute to waste! Males start singing to attract a mate, and their songs can be heard in the pre-dawn darkness.
