I love to see them when they drop by.
We have some trees and large bushes in our back yard. Two pears, a crabapple, a smoke tree/bush and a Redbud tree/bush. When the birds come in, they are able to safely fly from tree to bush and check out the area for potential predators. We can see them very clearly from various windows. Being just 2-3 feet away from them at times is such a treat.
