Ham and eggs
There are two chicken pens in the neighborhood. The one closer to me had a rooster for a while, but he was a poor alarm clock, starting the day at 10:30 AM. NYC type. He didn't last long. Zoning laws, frying pan.
Lately the hens are doing a better job of announcing the day. One hen starts with a LOUD b'gawk bukbukbukbuk at 6 AM.... and then the top hen in the OTHER chicken pen, a block away, answers her. This goes back and forth for about 10 minutes, with the B'GAWKS neatly alternating. Like an echo chorus or like duplex telegraphy where the bukbukbuk part is 'standby mode'.
