Sharp Bird
That time of year when a young bird's fancy turns to love and then feeding the hungry brood that results. The pictures are of a local bird called a Cactus Wren that uses the cactus as a built in defense for it's tunnel-like nest.

I bet this is more effective than a satellite-based missile defense system.
I've always liked great big cacti. It's too wet in maryland. We only get rats the size of cats.

Very cool. The bit of ribbon on the last one? Is that something the bird brought along?
super cool! that is what i call cat proof housing!
Definitely cat proof. The little guy wasn't too happy with me either, I got a good scolding. They tend to use anything they can find to build their nest so I think the ribbons were just coincidental. I try to emulate the cactus wren by having a front yard full of cactus to keep the neighborhood kids away from the house.
Cool!
evalinn: Thanks!!
