[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3973932, member: 5412"] Hiked a couple miles through the Sonoran Desert this afternoon with n Arizona. Nice, warm day with no wind. There are a lot of Saguaro cactus in this desert. I always thought they were a big pulpy mass of cactus, but they are actually a skin that grows over a wood frame. Birds burrow through the skin to create nests within the wood frame on top of each other. You can zoom in and see the bird burrows in the cactus in the background. Another interesting tidbit of info is that the barrel cactus in the same desert will typically have a lean to it that points south. On my walk, found a couple dozen that were generally pointed south. I wouldn’t use them for navigation purposes, but about 80% did point south. [ATTACH type="full" alt="859805BF-582B-4943-BF9D-8F9EC201F121.jpeg"]350891[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
