Morning Sounds in the Neighborhood

I have been a morning person my whole life. It appeals to me that there are others in the world that are like me - not that I necessarily want to interact with them (the best morning times are solitary ones). Hearing the sounds they make is enough. These are the waking up in the morning sounds of my neighborhood:

The rumble and clanging of trucks and bins happen twice a week: recycle day is Wednesday and trash is Friday. They come right around 6:30 AM. In the summer they have full light but most of the year it is dark or the very beginning of the day. Our neighborhood must be one of the first on their route.

The school buses start about 7:30. The buses come through three times - matching the levels of schools: high school, middle and elementary with the high schools being the ones that have to get to the stop the earliest. The students are usually quiet. If there are sounds - they are happy ones: chatter of school friends, barks of dogs enjoying the walk to the bus stop, morning greetings between parents, goodbyes as the bus loads.

There is the quiet hum of cars leaving - people leaving for work. It happens slowly…the earliest is around 6. It seems like the time has broadened over the years with more people having flex time and working at home some days.

Bird noises crescendo in the early morning just around dawn. Our neighborhood is at the edge of a forested area and has mature trees in yards….and bird feeders. It is unusual to not hear birds in the morning.

What do you hear in your neighborhood on a November morning?
