The cactus wren can be seen year round in the southwestern portions of the United States, primarily along the border with Mexico, in the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Also, these wren can be seen in southwestern Nevada and southeastern Utah.

Fairly numerous but have been declining and seen in cactus deserts. These wren will come to suet feeders. Feeds and behaves openly.

This wren has a streaked back and underparts, barred wings and tail, rufous crown and a white eyebrow stripe. There is also some rust coloring in the lower under parts.

A short time later, a cactus wren (I had to look in my bird book for this one) flies to the suet feeder and I quickly grab my camera and get two shots before his is gone but only the second photo is good. He comes back a little later and I am able to take a couple more shots. Later, a mother pig and her yearling stroll through camp. Wow, what a nice day for wildlife photography.
