X a a r.„Lopy R, WOODS The struggle taste WOO of ear own St, Lambert black cherries. And if possible to preserve some for winter use began last January. In 1969, the birds cleaned the tree 'before the cherries were half-ripe. A friend told Lucy that she had heard .over a C,D,f ,. farm broadcast of some noise maker which drove all off. With some misgivings as to whether it would frighten our nesting song birds from the garden, Lucy wrote to the C.B.C. She was referred to the Ontario Grape Growers' Marketing .Beard in St, Catherines re the °AY-Alarm' bird control system. R. K. Matthew, Secretary-treasurer wrote on February 3 that it was designed for large growers and that the electronic signal given off the ground might be considered a noise by neighbours in built-up areas. He pointed out that system cost around $600-$700 and gave the Indiana address of the manufacturer. Then he kindly suggested using a plastic cooper's hawk to hang in the tree, They cost $14 and could be obtained from the Vineland Growers Co-operative Limited, Vineland Station, Ontario. Carl and Lucy talked over the purchase of one. Carl opined that 14 dollars would buy more cherries than we needed. Lucy argued that if it worked we'd have it for future years. So in the end it was purchased. If it isn't bugs and beetles it is birds and boys. A young friend climbed up and fastened the hawk which floated on a string near the cherry tree, 'Two robins sat on the ground with their heads cocked and watched the proceedings, and immediately went up into the tree and tussled with the green cherries just beginning to colour pink. No, fooling them. A week later Lucy suggested a lace curtain to blow in the wind at the top of the tree. The birds paid no attention to it but it marked the site for boys. Long before they were ripe, our neighbour's dog barked. The owner went to the door. The garden fence twanged as three lads climbed over, When the house light was turned on they got in such hurry that one jumped down on the . dung pile and fell in it, headlong. Sweet picking! Carl saw their tracks in the garden next day. Unfortunately they had trampled some special, delicate, red onion seedlings which he has been nursing along, in their endeavour to reach the cherries. The tree, does not have strong branches and, although it is a good size, cannot be climbed. Another night, our friends helped by turning on car headlights to , show some lads considering climbing over the fence. They rode off on bicycles in haste. Carl hung a pair of goose wings in the tree. The birds paid no • attention, All that really frightens them is a stuffed owl. Lticy saw a cedar waxwing (cherry bird) on top of the plastic cooper's hawk. The only birds which it seems to have frightened are the black birds and bluejays. There hasn't been one near the tree although they go. to Mrs. C. Bell's tree next door. The chief offenders in the garden at "The Hut" are robinS,-. starlings, owls, cedar waxwings, cardinals and the' sky rose-breasted grosbeak which nests across the road. The Bells manage to save a good part of their crop by keeping cow bells ringing in the tree. Lucy persuaded Carl to hang one in his tree but he hasn't time to sit and dingle it he says. •. • One day when they were sitting outside, Lucy pointed out a cardinal fairly gorging himself. "He can have all he wants" said Carl, and refused to pull the string. _Another day he wouldn't frighten• the rose-breasted grosbeak off. But for the robins and starlings — the bell tolls. The cat birds are the smart ones. They walk about the grass under the tree and pick up what the other birds have dropped. Carl was amused one might. Lucy had watched a little bunny rabbit pulling down blue bell stocks by the hedge and devouring them,, flowers and all. Haying a full tummy it began scampering about' in glee. It :happened to be sitting under the cherry tree near the string. ,When; Carl' tightened it to pull the bell from the side door, it jumped right up in surprise. Then when the clapper swung in the bell, he darted across the road to the safety of the cedars, like a streak of lightning. Then there is the groundhog which decided to locate in the hayfield, right close to all the nice, young vegetables. Both old and young groundhogs have been over eating the cherries on the ground which the birds dropped. It's a struggle to grow anything. The sweet cherry harvest has been completed and the cowbells have been Put away for another year.' A flock of cedar waxwings moved in one evening and cleaned off the top of Carl's tree. "If we are going to have any at all, they'll have to be picked right away" he said. So they were picked and frozen — just two six-quart baskets. The cherries were dark red instead of black. There should have been many baskets but — well, we fed the birds as advised by Tom. Bird over C.F.P.L. television. The Bell's tree next door is a Bing and much more heavily, leafed than the St. Lambert. The black birds came in flocks to it, but the bell kept ringing. And the fruit was harder to see and pick off for the birds. So the Bells had a fair crop of lucious cherries. ' The plastic hawk still floats over the garden for the montmorency cherries. Maybe it will still be there next year if the wire doesn't rust! Are you tired of buying work boots that fall apart after wearing a few times?
