When we moved into our house 16 years ago, there was a large basswood tree in our front yard, right in the middle of it. Why? There are so many beautiful trees, why would you plant a basswood in your front yard?
Guess what? White-breasted Nuthatches love this kind of tree. I really enjoy watching them. They often turn sideways and upside down on vertical surfaces as they forage.
I still don't like this tree, but I now appreciate it for the birds it brings for me to enjoy.

You know I see birds out in the cold and freezing weather and I think gosh they must be so cold and I feel sorry for them. But I guess they aren't really cold are they or are they. Beautiful birds and so relaxing to watch them.
Lovely photos. I love the first photo the most. It is very pretty. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.
Your photos are Absolutely Fabulous ;~) Thanks for sharing ~
What adorable birds. It's got to be better than no tree.
Really like all your recent bird posts. I began feeding nuts for the first time recently and somewhat to my surprise more NUT hatches than ever began showing up. And I don't even have a basswood tree in my front yard. :)
Great photos Bonnie. You have a great variety of birds in your yard. Thanks for sharing.
