Barbara-- If I'm not mistaken, he's perched on a very tall ocotillo. It's not dead; if you add some water, you'd see bright green leaves popping out all over!
Kathy-- Fortunately I don't think birds have nerve endings in their feet!
Leslie-- And I don't see house wrens here. Cactus wrens are the state bird of Arizona, and I've had the good fortune of seeing (and listening to) a canyon wren.
I spy...
ReplyDeletegreat capture.
Is that dead cactus he's perching on? Great shot of the bird.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that he's perched up there thorns and all. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteNice! The only wrens I see are House Wrens and they were smart enough to leave for the winter.
