I’ve watched this tree slowly tilt for many years. It was upright at our last visit in June, when there wasn’t much going on but I did take one shot of the tree:
Sometime between then and August 9 it tipped over.
Hopefully it will continue to provide a bird soap box for years.
A few posts documenting the tree’s demise:

A slow lazy roll. Gravity never sleeps!
Truth!
It looks like the cormorant is shouting at the heron, claiming that this is his tree. 🙂
It does! Sometimes birds just like to squabble!
😍🤗😎🤩🙌🏼
Too bad about the tree, but it seems the birds still congregate there. Fine photos!
Just one more bit of change for the birds, but they always seem to make do. Thanks!
