    If it makes you feel better, my Evans cherries and Honeyberry harvests are completely gone this year. Birds got 'em all.

    I put up 17 birdhouses around my property and have several birdfeeders and birdbaths out there to serve them, so it’s probably my own fault. Though in my defense, I only have 17 birdhouses because I bought a table saw without a clear project in mind for it and wound up having to build them to justify it to myself. So it wasn’t exactly premeditated.

      That’s great! I’ve been watching since I noticed the berries so ripe, and I actually saw a red-headed finch in the yard today for the first time in years, so hope isn’t lost.
