Need advice on shrubs (1 Viewer)

I moved into a house last spring with a nice backyard, for a change. This coming spring I plan on putting in 2 rows of shrubs, each from 40 - 60 feet long. I'm going to be going with 2 different kinds of bushes, one for each side. I have 3 picked out. I'm just wondering which 2 of these 3 would attract the best variety of birds. Which one of the 3 should I eliminate from the mix? Any other good advice? I want bushes that get 4 - 6 feet tall and that can handle partial shade. I live in SW MN so I'm good to zone 4. I don't have to worry about dry conditions, as my sump pump runs a lot most of the summer.

The 3 I have picked out are Viburnum Mohican, Isanti Dogwood and Autumn Magic Black Chokeberry. I plan on buying them 1 1/2 ft. to 2 ft. tall.
