Sharing the Harvest

Our ‘Autumn Brilliance’ serviceberry bushes are full of ripening fruit, and the birds are having a feast.

Fruit eaters like robins and Gray Catbirds visit often to pull the tasty red and purple berries from the branches. I’ve even seen cardinals sneaking a bite here and there.

Usually I try to grab a few handfuls for myself (the taste is very close to a blueberry), but it was a very rough winter and spring for the birds, and they’ve been run ragged lately trying to care for their young. I’ll let them enjoy all those scrumptious berries.
