I have been so wanting to post about Saguaros. But now you have done the most wonderful one I shall just send them over to yours !
Don't you just love the Cactus Wrens ? They are a hoot. I call them the Chinese acrobats of the bird world.
Wonderful photos as always.

cheers, parsnip

In that last photo, do you wonder if they were thinking "this is great but very messy…so exactly when are those rains coming?!" LOL

Goldfinches! I seldom see them and can never "capture" them. Very nice.
