Bird Damage

The birds (mostly goldfinches and pine siskins) have been eating the leaves on the beets and pulling out the newly emerged seedlings.  So I've put out wire hoops and covered the bed with bird netting.  We had seen them in there for a couple of weeks but couldn't figure out exactly what they were up to.

The strawberries are ripening quickly now.  However, there aren't any new blossoms coming.  I'll have to do some research.
