Youth's Ingenuity Stops Robin Berry Raids at Jim Falls
A youth in Jim Falls used inventive tinkering to thwart robins raiding a five inch aluminum pie plate set upside down in a strawberry patch. The disguise created a disruptive plunking sound that deterred the birds. Randy's father Ralph, a tuba player with Rubenzer's Hotshots, praises his son's hands on approach, noting the robin raids are now a nonissue.
