A random tree

The XXXX is not a work of art (8)

There is a bird feeder tucked into the higher branches of the largest XXXX in this group. The bird feeder is too high for a person to reach from the ground. It is accessible via a long, thin poly cord, which is wrapped on a cleat that is drilled into the XXXXX of the XXXX. I visited the XXXX over the course of several weeks. The bird feeder was always empty.
