Every year I wage war against the evil Thrushie Bird, the prize being my delicious mangoes. This year a new and unlikely villain has appeared on the scene.

The Old Culprit

This fellow is even worse than the thrushie. He has a big beak abnd takes big bites. In this case the thrushie got jealous when it saw the parrot eating a mango and scared it away.

The new perpetrator

But this year I get up early in the morning (the early bird) and harvest the ripe ones before the “teefs” arrive.

The prize

Great Cruz Bay Full Moon

The Farmer’s Almanac calls the July full moon the “buck moon”, but being that it came on Jouvet night here on St. John, I prefer to call it “the Jouvet Moon”.

It’s Festival Parade today and fireworks tonight and then back to business as usual.
