A cactus wren on a post. Viewpoints are always attractive, including here. Not from the car, but from the walking path at the overflow basin of the Julian Wash. It doesn't rain often in Arizona, but it can rain heavily in the summer.

Another cactus wren, right where you expect it to be. Nice to see how he holds on to the top of the cactus.
