An article in Clarin is claiming that birds are singing much earlier than usual due to LED lights in the city, but I disagree.
One bird in particular, the Thrush (Zorzal), is very loud all night and I distinctly remember them singing outside our bedroom window when I first arrived in BA in 2005, when there weren't any LED streetlights. Kept me awake, in fact, noisy buggers.
For anyone living in the country with less light pollution, can they confirm this?
I always wonder why Argentine never changes the clocks, as we do in Europe and elsewhere.
It's too bloody light in the morning in the summer
I would love to get an extra hour of daylight in the evening in the summer months
They've been changing the street lighting here as well. Not noticed the birds acting any different than they normally do. At this time of year they're always very vocal even when it's still 'dark' to us. The birds sense dawn well before we notice it.

They tried that several years ago but only for certain provinces and it caused huge confusion, bearing in mind that Argentina is very narrow on the longitude.
When we first arrived in BsAs in 2005, we were so surprised and pleased to hear the beautiful, complex songs of the zorzal before dawn. Are they now singing even before about 4 am?
yip....
And sometimes at 3.45am , the bassas...
I'd rather hear the birds than the young eejits who drive about in clapped-out mopeds. 
There are various reasons why the avian species chirps, hums, and sings, but they do so mostly to attract new mates or protect their nests.

I sing to chase them away...it's bad enough as it is having the one woman. 
Additionally, there are different kinds of songs that birds produce. Learning about them paves the way to identifying certain bird species. And the process of spotting birds through their songs is exhilarating.
