OUR WINTER VISITORS 



visitors chickadee tinkling carpenter 

 saucy 



Here is a bird that comes to us from the 

 north. 



He stays with us all win- 

 ter. 



He looks like the spar- 

 row. 



But the two long out- 

 side tail feathers are 



white. 



He is very fond of dog 

 kennels. 



Like the sparrow, he is 

 not afraid of us. 



Even on the coldest day 

 of winter you may hear his 

 silver tinkling : 



Chick-a-dee-dee, 

 Chickadee-dee. 



He is a little fellow to be a carpenter.
