Alas, the Cherries...

Alas the cherries! This is a photo of last year's beauties.  But this spring, for the first time in the 24 years we've lived here, birds ate every one of them. Just when we noticed they were ripening, and suddenly, POOF! They're gone! Do they eat the green ones too? This is too strange. There've always been plenty of cherries to share with the birds. And those trees were loaded with blossoms earlier and never got frosted. Another of CC's Nature Mysteries.
