THE RED-HEADED WOODPECKER 



You will, like to put the red hood on your paper Woodpecker. It is 

 just as if you were making a red hood to cover his entire head, face and 

 neck, leaving open places only for his eyes and beak. 



After you have made your paper bird you will surely know the real 

 Red-headed Woodpecker when you see him. He will probably be 

 clinging to the trunk of a tree, devouring the insects he finds there; or 

 he may be on a telegraph pole. He is a quarrelsome, noisy fellow, but 

 very pretty to look at. 



He builds his nest in holes in the trees; or if there is a hole in a 

 fence-post, he may choose that for his home. 



In May or June his nest will hold four or five glossy white eggs. 



He belongs to the family of Woodpeckers.
