D.O.P.-T.

First orange of the season found on the ground eaten out; I'd seen it up in the tree earlier. Also a little orange that was not nearly rips, but had come off at the base of the stem as if it was. I hope it's birds doing this, not rodents; I do see bluejays and some of the little birds in the orange tree.
