    Default Cactus Wren Singing on a Cactus

    Took this at a spot near my house a week or so ago. Cactus Wrens don't exactly have the most beautiful singing voice....kind of like me! But they're not shy about hopping up on a cactus and belting out a tune.

    I like the overall shot, it appeared a bit soft, could be from handholding at that SS?
