I'm sure if they had an audio,recording of your thoughts, they'd swell,with meadowlark calls (which you got just about right). Their calls are synonyms with Mason Creek. Hauntingly beautiful calls!
Magpies are synonymous with the old cow shed, so No, Ron, the two birds very definitely coexist in the same area. Up north. In Idaho. Where the potatoes grow big and smooth and brown. And I always wanted a pet magpie. Supposedly you can teach all corvids to speak. Boise zoo used to have a literal old crow who'd say hi! When you passed by. And I still think that Ravens are crows who speak a different dialect.

A very cheerful and lively discourse of man and bird. Growing up in a northern clime, I never saw meadowlarks in the same place except by a pond in the middle of a large meadow. Never saw magpies at all because they never ventured that far north… More southerly birds. I did hear an occasional Norwegian or Swedish joke with the strange accents, though.
