I have a Montmorency Cherry tree right outside the window where I'm sitting. It's a pie or sour cherry and the cherries are ripe right now. The birds are raising merry olde hell with it as they do every year. The funny thing is I can count on two or three crashing into the window, maybe more. I mentioned it to a neighbor, and he said they get drunk from the cherries, being sour and all. You ought to see those little beggars tearing the cherries off the tree. It's a wonder the window doesn't break. I can see them laying on the ledge after they hit the glass. They seem to recover alright, but are disoriented for a while, and certainly don't look too majestic in flight when they depart. Isn't nature grand? Best wishes.
