This is the first year the birds didn't get them all before they ripened. It might be that the tree is larger and has more berries, but it might be that a very aggressively territorial robin is keeping other birds away.
Did you make anything interesting with them? I was talking to someone (about the same time posted this) who had harvested some and was getting set to make scones.

"Hours?"
They just got ripe.
Wooden ships, on the water...

They're yours, not hours.
Not Goji berries. Not Acai. Sloe?
Haws?
A few may cause drowsiness, many may cause cardiac arrhythmia.
Serviceberries.
Serviceberries.
Fallen on hard times, have they?
Rice bowls.
BLueberries?
Shadbush berries.
How do you keep birds from eating them? We never get a chance to eat the serviceberries in our yard.
