I have seen this kind of damage before but not to the extent as this year. There has been a large eruption of White Crowned Sparrows, and they are still around. They usually come just as Juncos are leaving about first of April, Well they came then, by the hundreds and are still here. I watched them in the Rainier Cherry tree, they just clip off the bloom and drop them to the ground, don't eat anything just clip the blooms. I don't think there are any blooms left on the tree, it is about 20 feet tall, 15 years of age and had a beautiful bloom. I don't know of anything I can do. Anybody have ideas.
