A cheerful Cactus Wren exiting its grass nest that’s protected by the dagger-like leaves of the Yucca plant…razor sharp and clear image using large file size.

“A conspicuous sight and sound of the Southwestern deserts, the Cactus Wren is the largest wren in North America. Although it can be found in urban backyards, it is a true bird of the desert and can survive without freestanding water.”
--Cornell Lab of Ornithology
