Keeping with my bird theme. I'm always surprised at how many birds don't seem to be bothered by cactus spines. This is a starling. It is native to Europe. People brought it to America and now the starling has adapted to the desert.
Very neat shot. A fav. There is something iconic about that high column with the bird atop it. Looks like something you would have seen if the Third Reich had ever established itself in the American Southwest.
