  Thank you so much Neal & Kitty....we have two families one in each of two cardons in the front yard...hope they remember which nest belongs to which pair (LOL)....The third cardon has no nesting holes yet...maybe next year someone will take up residence. Have a wonderful day ahead!

  Wonderful capture Patricia! Looks like you got these two to pose for you! I'm still enjoying spring flowers back east, although the gnats are out in full force right now.

  Thank you Karen, Chris and Marilyn for your kind words.....These are hard to miss Chris....they bore holes in the cactus and you can see them popping in and out to feed their young....This cactus is a Cardon from Mexico....I believe it is a cousin of the Saguaro....The cardon cactus grows very fast unlike the Saguaro which can take years and years to grown an inch or two when they're young. Have a wonderful day! Cheers =^..^=

  Thank you Terry for your viewing & comments....I don't know if this is part of the same family that has been in our cardons before. This year we actually had two pairs one in each cardon....there are three plants altogether..so far one has managed to remain bird nest free....but then there is always next year! have a wonderful evening.....=^..^=
