Having trees of all sizes dead and alive help bring in birds.

The large snag is particularly attractive to raptors and corvids.

Two ravens and a turkey vulture. 

White-breasted Nuthatches love this large (live) second growth Douglas fir.

I watched one at work a couple of different days. 

They tend to move down the tree. 

Looking for bugs...

And caching sunflower seeds in the bark.

Cute ladybug stitch! It amazes me the birds that flock to all kinds of dead or alive trees.
