There are zillions of berries in the thicket and along the back tree line, but there are also zillions of birds (at one point yesterday, I counted 30 of them in the grass alone), who eat the berries. As soon as the berries ripen, they are eaten. I was hoping to snag some berries, because they are very tasty and I know for certain they have not been chemically treated. Oh well. I get more enjoyment from watching the birds than a bowl of berries could possibly provide.
