Two great resources for bird attracting trees and other plants:
Cornell Lab of Ornithology's
http://yardmap.org
Click on "native plants"
then choose "which birds, which plants"
Also a locally developed book by the Cayuga Bird Club:
Native Plants for Native Birds
http://www.cayugabirdclub.org/publications
Scroll down on that page to the 2nd book.
