A song after the rain?

The answer to that question is no, there was no song. He is just stretching his beak. Anyone that is familiar with Cactus Wrens know that when they are singing they barely open their beaks. They have a very unusual and amazing song. To me it is the sound of the desert. I took this photo of a Cactus Wren sitting on a Cholla cactus on the trail leading to Sabino canyon north of Tucson Arizona USA
