Cherries, Cherries......birds !

This year our cherry tree is loaded with cherries - apparently our mason bees truly did their work.  Yeah for cherries - but boo to the birds.

Each morning,

....a flock of robins fly over and begin pecking away at their morning snack

...flocks of little gray birds arrive to hide behind the leaves and nibble

...even a hummingbird flits by to take a look

.....but the crows are the most annoying! 

Last year only 3 crows were regular thieves at our tree - this year the murder has expanded to 5 - the 'teens' have joined them.  Caw, Caw, Caw...actually a sound more like a squawk....obnoxious and arrogant crows decimate our cherry harvest.
