Cactus Wren In A Cactus 86584

Emerging from its nest in a Cholla Cactus

It never ceases to amaze me how birds can land on and live in cacti with seeming impunity
to the spines and Cholla Cactus, as seen here, is a particularly nasty species at that.

Photographed in the Sonoran Desert west of Tucson, Arizona USA.
