Cactus Wren

Genus: Campylorhynchus
Species:  brunneicapillus

Herbivore 

The average size of a Cactus Wren is about 8 inches.  
There is a white stripe that covers both eyes on males 
and females.  The back is covered in spotted or streaked 
brown and white patches.  Their beaks are long and 
slightly curved which enables them to turn over objects.

While the female is incubating on clutch of eggs, the male wren builds another nest. This nest will be used or a second clutch of eggs as the parents may rear several broods of young in one year. Building the nest in cactus provides some amount of protection for the young. The wrens also use these nest throughout the year as places to roost.
