This is not fake news!

Yesterday I received two solar powered fake owls to guard our ripening cherry trees.

We lost so many cherries last year to birds.

There are little solar panels on the top back of the head that power the head to move about.

We already have another one that guards the veggie garden and it is at least 3 years old.

I tried to put them in place yesterday on taller posts but the hole in the bottom of the owl was too small so I used handy stakes meant to hold up the tomato cages. They are a little short. Maybe it will work better for the young cherry tree pictured at the top. I wonder if it will work as well for this more mature tree.

When I checked both trees have just as many cherries today as they did yesterday.
Can you count them from this picture?
