Nearly my entire crop of muscadines has been lost to the birds this year. I have 29 vines ranging from two to six years old. Had reflective mylar tape and fake owls out to scare birds away but they quit being afraid. Too late now. Thinking of going to full chicken wire cages for next year.
Another odd thing...I have not seen one single bee of any type or yellow jacket all year! I have not used any pesticides, so that can't be the cause. Very strange.
