Just remembered our visit to another (gorgeous) Southold garden and the owner has lots of lilies, clematis and roses. As I recall it was over 200 clematises and 1500 roses. Anyhow, I love how he incorporated bird houses into his landscaping and thought you might like the idea. You could put wire around the poles and grow clem's for each one or more than one clem to each pole.

I thought the second photo, showing a bird house atop a tall tree stump, was neat.
