Photo of the Week – April 24, 2020

It looks like humans aren’t the only ones self-isolating.  Of course, most animals are solitary beings, especially when tending to their young.  But a cactus perch is the perfect natural defense.

For the first time in decades, an official with the Arizona Department of Game and Fish photographed an American bald eagle nesting on a saguaro cactus in central Arizona.  For years, bird nests have been seen and photographed atop a saguaro cactus.  But this is the first time since 1937 that such a sighting had been recorded.
