blue gray gnatcatcher

November 29, 2020, Saguaro National Park West
A wonderful little critter! Fairly impressive for this little guy to be so small to fit in between those cactus spines! These animals build a cone-like nest on tree branches. A male in this photo.
 
@Arizona Docent Yes, according to my animal books that's where they ususally like to nest or hang out, Cylindropuntia is not the norm, but still a wonderful sight to see, regardless of where this little guy likes to hang out. :)
