Where it works
Two grey-brown Black-billed Cuckoos in a magnolia branch with large white blossoms and glossy green leaves, in Audubon's plate set on cream. The magnolias suit a bedroom, a dining room or a hallway on a white or dark green wall at 16×24 landscape in natural wood, with his Fork-tailed Flycatcher.
