This Red Tailed Hawk was injured. It was still in my father-in-laws yard today. Animal control came and took it to a local vet. Apparently it flew into the side of his house…

One little brown grass puppy on the feeder tonight. I think the quickie storm scared the rest of 'em off. Skies went black, wind started coming sideways, and my flag pole was in jeopardy. I ran out and dropped the flags just before the monsoon hit full force.
How did they kill it? Chewed it? I have one in my yard i think. It’s full of big blackberry looking fruit. I was scared to try one in case it’s poison
I actually had one in my mouth and spit it out. I’ll take a picture tomorrow and maybe you can tell me if it’s a mulberry tree.

is this a mulberry bush? It’s about 15 ft high and loaded with these berries which turn red then black

In your case its a tree I have a 25-30 ft one in rear yard
Do you eat them or let the birds do it?
We use too eat them they have a short ripening period from what I remember
But they were not that bad when we did. made a lot of smoothies
I just tried one, they look and feel like a blackberry but not as sweet. There are plenty black ones to gather a bowl to try some smoothies but think I will just let the birds and squirrels have them. Glad to know they are not poison tho. Now I can let the grandkids try them when they come over
They turn a deep dark purple correctI just tried one, they look and feel like a blackberry but not as sweet.

I have blackberries. When they are black and the seed pods are swollen is when they are the sweetest.
They look awesome. Maybe I will have enough next year on my new plants. I do have blooms and little green berries. Also the blueberry bush planted right beside is loaded down with fruit. Just like my flower tent my flowerbed is overcrowded. I have to move this vine to a better place next year. I didn’t realize it would grow so fast.
I can’t tell the difference from them and a blackberry by the look. They actually look black but deep purple is the stain they would leave on your shirt for sure

My raspberry/blackberry/strawberry patch is out of control. The strawberries are fruiting but something(probably slugs) are getting them before I do. The blackberries just started to bloom and raspberries are getting buds. It is a mess…
