First Pick Revisited

June 13th post on
needing to pick blueberries
before ripe was wrong

By some luck of fate
The birds and squirrels have not
Eaten them this year

In two weeks one bush
Has reaped four quarts of berries
With more yet to come

Neighbors report same
Phenomenon in their yards
As never before

Most years the birds and
Squirrels strip the branches bare
While berries are green

What has caused them to
ignore the bounty this year?
Does anyone know?
