Nice shot. Interesting composition. Maybe the image could benefit from a boost in the midtones?

The Cactus Wren
That's a brave bird! Did you see him take off, or is he pinned there?
Nice--maybe the best bird photo of the day.
Excellent capture and title!!
Excellent shot. Must take practice.
I, too, do not understand how they don't impale themselves. Nice image.

A very limited number of folks msy call him Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus. But he's clearly a wren and cactus, the spikier the better, is plays a role in every aspect of his life. He's also Arizona's State Bird and the largest North American Wren...

Cactus Wrens get lots of practice. The nests they're born in are built in and protected by cactus. They utilize it daily throughout their lives.
