Magpies?

I like the backlighting, which brings out the contrast between black and white.
But I think a magpie might find the twigs too thin to perch on!

My eyes are going down the tubes. I can't see any magpies. Our edited guide article on magpies doesn't mention the type of trees they like.
They build nests in the outer branches of trees.

They will even build nests i abandoned buildings. <yikes.

This tree, at present, does not contain any magpies. (Correct me if I'm wrong, FWR.) It is a tree FOR magpies. When the magpies are present, they can, and do, sit there. Possibly in contravention of the laws of physics. There are other examples of such in this week's issue.
We hope that this sufficiently explains the tree, the image of which is there to be admired aesthetically.

Tis merely a picture of a winter tree, crab apple I think, the Magpies do indeed nest in there. It's a photo that I found pretty, no more no less, no external links.

I don't now if lucky is the right word, but you are lucky to have magpies. Nebraska and Kansas are as far east as they come.
You'd think they could fly further east, but I guess not.
(Don't worry. I'm not that disappointed.)
