Almonds Are Ready!

My almond tree is loaded with almonds this year. The crows have returned (last year was their first year) to harvest the almonds on the tops of the branches. I tried to take their picture, but they were weary of me and kept flying away.
The mocking birds and blue jays also like to eat the almonds. My almonds are full of worms, so I don't mind sharing. I am going to be getting some chickens soon, and I will pen them in under my almond tree next spring, so they can eat all of the new crop of worms, which live just under the surface of the soil as they await their time to travel up to the nuts.
