Hence their name, Cactus wrens choose the most sinister, yet well-protected nesting sites imaginable. The cactus spines provide an incredible defense from predators! While sitting at the edge of a campground with a tripod set up, watching the wrens, several passing humans tried to figure out what magnificent creature was hidden in the desert, far beyond the nest. Photographed at Rockhound State Park, NM, USA.
