Cherry Thieves

Our cherries are starting to get ripe.

Doesn't seem to be as good a crop this year - of course I didn't get many last year either. I waited too long and the entire tree was picked clean in one day.

Our tree is in the front yard.

I could just hear the animals feasting on the cherries while I was still in bed this morning.

Here's what I saw when I got up.

It's not just the birds either.

The squirrels just right across the wire from the back yard to the front yard and stick whole cherries in their mouths.
