I once had a bird build a nest of sticks and thorns on the exhaust manifold of my 2940 JD. I was mulching in the field and I started to smell something hot. I decided I better drive up to the shop, but before I could get there in flamed up. The faster I would run the engine the more the fan blew the flames. You can probably imagine my dilema, I couldn't decide if I should drive like heck to the water hose or stop and throw dirt on it. Luckily I remembered my water jug and got it knocked down before it burnt up.

I've had a bad experience with feathered hitchhikers, but when I saw your photo I couldn't help but feel a little different. It looks like a little Wren to me. I can just see her defiantly "riding it out", refusing to leave her nest. I have heard if you have a
Christmas tree with a nest in it you will have good luck. Maybe you C is blessed now also.
