Turdus migratorius

Our blackberries are beginning to ripen, but it is not clear we will ever get to eat any of them, because the Robins snatch them before we are ready to pick them ourselves. The Robins have been ignoring us for over a month now, but now that we have something interesting in our back yard, there are often two or more hanging around all the time. Bird netting over the bushes helps, but only a little.
