young magpies

I have been seeing magpies for some time  at 24465 Co. Hwy 9 north of Lake Park but had not been able to locate the nest.  Today when I went by there I spotted 4 young magpies in the evergreens. The parents flew out of the tree squaking noisely and flew toward my car when I stopped.  While I sat there watching, both parents returned with food for the youngsters and quickly took off again.
