The record heat and drought thanks to climate change are really doing a number on our saguaros, especially the big old ones. I worry what it’ll look like when we get back. They play such an important role on our property, just a quick survey on and around our place I found two gilded flicker nests, three gila woodpecker nests, red tailed hawk and Harris’s hawk nest. Not to mention the amazing scenic value they bring to the area. I really hope there’s a good monsoon season this summer while we are back in Alaska. This cactus almost fell over while I was standing there I could hear it cracking. iPhone photo.
