Cactus Wren Atop A Saguaro — Image by kenne

The Cactus Wren, (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus, meaning ‘brown-capped curved bill’)
is conspicuous in behavior, size, and plumage—no doubt leading to its being chosen
as Arizona’s State Bird. Related to tropical wrens in Mexico,
this boldly patterned species is larger and unlike the rest of
North America’s wrens. — Tucson Audubon Society
