A Cactus Wren

Like the previous post, I spotted this Cactus Wren during my morning walkabout. It was perched on a limb of one of the several Cholla cacti up on the hill behind the house. Just down the limb from the bird is where the pair have built a nest in the Cholla. I presume that the bird is watching over the nest as though there might be some eggs therein.

The image is cropped down from the original and shows good detail. I took the photo from a distance of about 15 feet using my every day lens which has a maximum 250mm focal length telephoto capability. Camera details:
