This little fellow appeared to be guarding the front door to his home inside the saguaro cactus. I think he was a little wary of me standing below him so he kept flying away and returning quickly to sit at the entrance again. I didn't see any activity inside but, there probably was a family in there and he was being the protector.

This is a super shot! You have what it takes to make a great photographer - patience! Not a doctor, though. For that you need patients. :)
That's a nice little home he has there.
Do you know what kind of bird it is?
I checked into growing African daisies in England. We can grow a variety here, but they don't look like yours -- in fact, they're purple! I suspect the orange ones need more heat and drier conditions than we can easily provide.
A brilliant shot, Sharon! He's definitely on high alert!
Love seeing the saguaro up close too!
He's certainly quite aware of you!
He is looking right at you, Sharon!
Is that a cactus wren?
A fantastic shot, Sharon and you're not getting any closer to his front door. :)
What a cutie!
You have a good eye to spot the sentinel.
I don't doubt that you are correct. A guardian must be watchful and aggressive.
Looks like a cozy abode.
