There were quite a few cherries on this tree, but they keep going away just before they're fully ripe.
Thanks OD and Everyone! As soon as I read your reply, I ran out and picked what was left. Only got about a half gallon. Don't know why I didn't think to do that a few days ago. Not just the robins, but cedar waxwings, catbirds, and others have been working on them.Robin's love cherries! You can put netting over your trees, or pick them while they are yellow and let them ripen in some bowls for a day or two.
That's one of the reasons, you're suppose to dress your scarecrow, put props in his "hands", and change his clothes, every so often.....My mother always used the tin pan method too in her garden. Works until they figure it out.
# 1, & # 3, a good shotgun may solve your problems.
