It's a... Saguowlo cactus! πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

How do you build a nest hanging between cacti?

You can't really see it in the picture but the saguaro has one main truck that splits into a bunch of arms. The nest goes down to where the arms split off. Weirdly this nest is sort of communal. I've seen red hawks using the same nest.
