I saw a catbird in some wild grapes so that maybe be the reason why they are not eating the blueberries. Somehow green grapes don't seem too appetizing to me but I'm not a catbird so what do I know? Also, the wild cherries are ripening and that may be another food source they may be exploiting. <BR/><BR/>The squirrels around these parts don't seem to eat blueberries but I don't have the nasty ones you have or maybe it's because they are sated because they eat all our sunflower seeds set out for the birds.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-729775531151042242007-08-09T01:28:00.000-04:002007-08-09T01:28:00.000-04:00Anthony, those look great, who can blame them!
