Dead birds all around. [Part 2]

A couple of summers ago I stayed with a good friend who lives in a cabin in the Catskill Mountains near the reservoir for NYC. My plane came in late at night and the drive back from the airport took an hour or so. Once at the cabin we sat down, had a few beers and exchanged some stories. It was very late when we finally decided to get some sleep. I was asleep for about 45 minuets when all of a sudden the birds started chirping and cawing. The woods seemed to come alive when the sun crested the horizon and the birds signaled the event.
