Birds are getting bothersome early this year. I'm seeing increasing amounts of pecking and ripping of buds. It seems to be mostly the female 'red wing' blackbirds but when others birds see that, they follow suit and join in. While it hasn't been a threat to any of my cross pollination work now, it could mean big problems this Fall. Guess I better get stocked up with the old 'nylons and pantyhose' for seed pod protection.
