The Saucy Little Cactus Wren

Cactus Wrens have a personality all of their own. They are curious and mischievous. They always seem to like sitting on the arm of a wicker rocker outside the office. However, once I came over to my office and found one inside, walking around on the window sill.  I guess I left the door open a bit too long. They typically build their nest in Chain Fruit (or Jumping) Cholla. You can easily watch them for an hour as they build their nest. They eat insects, ants, beetles, grasshoppers etc. And, will occasionally eat fruit or nectar.
