Help! My blueberries seem to be drying out on the bush once they are ripe. See attached images. This is affecting some, but not all berries on multiple bushes around my garden - located in Beaverton, Oregon. What is causing this and what can I do about it?
Thanks!
Washington County Oregon

I looks like bird damage. Birds will peck at the berries, eat some and then leave. I found this comprehensive document from Univ of New Hampshire https://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource001797_Rep2514.pdf it is designed for commercial fields, but there are elements you can use as a home owner
