A Bird in the Hand...

["Kristin Purdy" <kristinpurdy at comcast dot net>]

...is worth eight on the dish.  Isn't that how the maxim goes?   

This morning when I watered my birds, a Pine Siskin fluttered out of the 
tree and landed on my hand while I held the watering can high.  I wasn't 
expecting a reception quite like that and I flinched, flushing the bird. 
 

When I returned inside and looked out the window, eight siskins had 
fluttered out of the tree to land on the rim of the water saucer. 

I guess I don't need any other validation of how much these birds have 
come to rely on the water source.
