We lived in Colorado for many years. We finally moved from the country into the city - a subdivision set just outside of the city, but on the fringes of a golf course. There were no trees. We planted some, but that was the one thing I missed the most - the birds in my back yard. Put in strawberry bushes down close to the golf course property for the birds, put in bird houses, but for the 4 years we lived there, saw very few birds. Here in Tennessee, we're enjoying our birds immensely. Put in some evergreens as well as deciduous trees and have the birds all year round! Love watching them - course, that's why I'm a bird watcher.
