Identification - It is chubby and slightly smaller than a robin. It has a rusty crown, white eye-stripe, streaked back, and heavy spotting on the breast that converges into a cluster just below the throat. The tail has white spots on the outer feathers.
Morsels - Unlike many birds who allow their nests to fall into disrepair after the breeding season is over, the Cactus Wren maintains old nests and uses them as roosts. It searches for food very methodically, checking the underside of leaves, fallen debris, and other ground litter.
