As threatened, I got some bird netting at Home Depot over the weekend. Installing it on a ten-foot-high tree was a trick. But as you can see here, it’s done. And the birds are pissed. A blue jay flew into it last night and got slightly tangled, but it managed to get itself loose again. Now they’re all avoiding the tree.

This is what we’re protecting: an almost-ripe peach crop. I’ve eaten a couple of them, and they’re quite good though a bit smaller than commercial (store) peaches.
