Here you can see a cactus wren’s nest nestled in between the prickly pear cactus’s pads. These nests take one to three days to build and are used year-round. The nests are almost football shaped/sized and are mainly for breeding and roosting. The nest pictured even has a little something extra; it looks like they may have found something like cotton to decorate their nest with.
