The sour cherries are in various stages of ripening, but no matter what color they are they are a bit too sour for me to eat too many at a time.
Most of the very ripe (and tastiest) will go to the birds in the next few days, but human hands will grab the ones in reach.
The short season is basically defined by the birds’ activity and not so much about how many we pick for our pies and our freezers.
