May 8 Several birds today had bright pink intestines as
result of eating fruit of the candelabra cactus -
whether this was picked up with insects or while the
fruit is the primary food is a question - but one stomach
contained seeds (collected). These wrens spend a
good deal of time probing in fruit of the cactus.
Perhaps the long, thin bill is well suited for their
style of feeding.
The iris is a simple brown color - occasionally
with a slight shade of orange.
