Hi guys, I have a wireless speaker set up on my back porch near my new martin housing and I want to put it on an early timer, etc. to automate playing the song. I've found a lot of videos posted that play for hours that say they are the "dawn song" but actually they sound to me more like daytime chatter. Does anyone have a link to the Dawn Song that they use?

Thanks in advance!

FYI - I just bought a Songbird Magnet instead. I'll let you know if it works!!

I agree with MJM i have two of the song bird magnets and they work great. I put one under the eve of one of my dormers closet to the martin housing in the front of the house. I also have one in the attic of an S&K barn style house in the middle of the martin houses in the back yard and it works great. I was able to plug both of them up to the timer plugged in on the side of my house. the cords that come with them are really long. They are on amazon for $49 dollars. They last several years. I set the time for 5 to 9 am then again from 1 to 2 pm then in the evening from 6 to 8 pm..
