Hello, Tweeters,

Yesterday my husband observed a pine siskin sitting on my horse's back. My
horse was totally unconcerned, although I'm certain he could feel the bird's
claws (perhaps hoping for a back scratch, a service for which he'd gladly
sell his soul...). The siskin was not hunting for bugs, apparently, merely
using my horse as a convenient perch.
