Attracting Birds with Trees and Shrubs

Attracting birds to your yard is as easy as choosing the right trees and shrubs. Trees and shrubs offer birds a place to nest, rest and feed. Here are some suggestions.
Viburnums - Flowering Shrubs for the Landscape and the Birds
There are over 150 species of Viburnum. You can find a variety to suit any garden need: wet or dry, sun or shade, natural or formal, shrub or tree, native or exotic, USDA Zones 2-9.
Fall Color - Garden Shrubs & Vines with Colorful Fall Foliage, Flowers
Every garden needs shrubs for structure and good bones. Fall foliage is often thought of with regards to trees, but shrubs can offer just as much interest.
Bearberry - Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi
Bearberry is a short, wide evergreen shrub that is often used as a groundcover. It’s great for tough sites, like dry or salt exposed settings, and adds four seasons of interest with its fall color and winter persistent berries.
