You can't really see it in the picture but the saguaro has one main truck that splits into a bunch of arms. The nest goes down to where the arms split off. Weirdly this nest is sort of communal. I've seen red hawks using the same nest.
It's a... Saguowlo cactus! 😆😆😆
...I'll see myself out.
Great shot! Tucsonan here. What area of town or where in AZ?
Hey! It's on edge of the Ironwood national monument down Mile Wide road. Cool seeing someone else from Tucson here.
Cool indeed! I will have to go there sometime. Never been to Ironwood. Live in NE Tucson. Thanks!!

Isn’t this dangerous to the birds? Don’t they get poked?
so damn cute 🥰
Baby owls with that panicked "I see demons" stare...
