The Cactus Wren is the state bird of Arizona, and very abundant. It's the largest wren in the US. They live in deserts and arid foothills, and seem to hang out in cactus and other desert vegetation.
They have a very distinctive sound, that sounds like a car that won't start.

Their color blends in with much of the desert vegetation.

F8 / 1/2000 / iso-900.

Hope you enjoy these.
