The tanager song resembles that of an American robin, although slightly hoarser. The scarlet tanager, however, does have much to sing about. Among the songbirds, they are the most migratory, & the male's plumage is a dramatic scarlet with black wings & tail. The female is a lovely olive-green colour with dark grayish-brown wings, tipped with the same green as the body. in the winter, the male dons a colour scheme to match the female. The beak of the scarlet tanager is stout & has a downcurved ridge & notch, or tooth. The birds build nests in trees 18 to 30 metres above the ground & feed on insects & some fruit. Tanagers usually lay four blue & brown spotted eggs which are incubated by the female over two week period. The males assist with the rearing of the chicks. Scarlet tanagers are small birds that prefer the deciduous woodlands in the southern regions of Ontario & Quebec, although they have been found in mixed forest & occasionally in other neighbouring provinces. The scarlet tanagers take up their winter residence in South America, from Columbia to Bolivia." - Canada Post Corporation. [Postage Stamp Press Release], 1997."
