We managed to salvage about a dozen apples from the tree this year. The rest were eaten by our woodland birds, bats, and squirrels, and we are entirely okay with this.

Our hummingbird feeder is now feeding the entire forest, at about 4-6oz per day (!!). We’ve brought them reinforcements (two new feeders) to last them through the coming winter.

For folks asking about bats here: we do have a healthy bat population nearby, but I’m not 100% sure the gnawing on our apples in the tree are from them (young raccoons are also possible, as are squirrels that can’t reach the entire apple).

So, unconfirmed, but if anyone would like to look at the nibble patterns, I’d find that interesting!
