Hamwild, my back yard has lots of trees. No trees at all in the front yard. I think that's why I see more birds in the back yard. Plus I have a variety of trees back there, and there are lots of trees right past the fence in the back that are in other folks back yards. In my yard is a sizable mulberry, three huge pine trees, two large wild cherries, a Bradford pear and a redbud. The trees I see over the fence are red oaks, maples, pine, and an an ancient apple tree. Lots of shrubs, too.
