At a Bernie Sanders rally in Portland, Oregon, a small bird lands on the stage and then flies directly up to the podium in full view of the cheering crowd.
Hard to tell, but it is either a female sparrow or a goldfinch.

African or European sparrow?
Laden or unladen?
Sanders now has the avian vote.
That scene captures metaphorically the disparate tones of this election season better than anything to date. At Sanders rallies, even little birdies flock to his message (shades of St. Francis). At Trump rallies, it’s more likely to see someone flipping him the “bird” (then get sucker punched).
Birdie/Wa-wren 2016!
