THE SCARLET TANAGER 



It will take only a little while to make your paper Scarlet Tanager, 

 but it will look so much like the real bird that when you see the living 

 one you cannot help but know him. 



The Scarlet Tanager does not come north as early as some of the 

 other birds and is not seen as often; but if he is near, you won't miss him, 

 because his cblor is so bright. 



You must look for him on the edge of the woods, in the orchard, or 

 in a large park. Sometimes he will even make his home in a large tree 

 on the village street. He does not build a very neat nest; it is flat and 

 ragged and made of twigs and small roots; and he usually puts it out 

 of reach on a high branch. 



Four or five green blue, or dull white, eggs with brown spots on 

 them will be in the Scarlet Tanager's nest. 



He belongs to the family of Tanagers.
