Leaf peeping season is falling into place—soon, the landscape across much of the country will transform with fiery-topped trees. While undeniably beautiful, trees are more than just a photo op.
Trees, especially native trees, give birds the ideal room and board. Native trees have evolved with the local wildlife, so they harbor more insects or yield more berries and fruit than non-native plants, providing greater benefit for birds and other critters.
If you have a soft spot for a particular type of bird, it can be helpful to know what trees, shrubs, and flowers they visit most. Here are some stunning trees to appreciate along with a rundown of birds they attract. |
