Living in a Cactus

A bird taking up home in a saguaro cactus

The Gila Woodpecker in its nest burrowed into a saguaro cactus. The bird was furiously flying back and forth feeding its young who were screeching from their safe cactus home, high above the desert floor. Whenever I’ve been away from Arizona for any period of time, it is the saguaro that first reminds me that I’m back in the desert and what a beautiful place it is.
