A beautiful look at a Cactus Wren. I like the flared tail feathers. Nice perch and background. I like the look the wren is giving the bee.

Nice look at the cactus wren Sandy. I like the interaction between the bee and the wren in this. “Is it a snack?” “Is it a pest?” “Can I catch and eat it without getting stung?” Nice light and BG, good sharpness, and I really like the old ocotillo perch.

I love the perch and the pose of the wren, Sandy. The bee and the way the bird is looking at it add a lot to the image.

Hi Sandy, love the look on this bird with the annoyed expression and fanned tail. The red eye is cool too. Nice catch of the interaction. Fine BG and perch as well.
