[mou-net] Who needs feeders when you have Pagoda Dogwood

I have been enjoying being home this summer, yet have been remiss in setting up my usual feeding stations. The combination of rich sunshine and regular rainfall has led to My Pagoda Dogwood trees being heavy with berries. They fruit this time of year every year, and I usually find Robins and
