Scarlet Tanager Brought Home by 12 Year Old
A 12 year old girl, Janice Caragli, found a bright scarlet tanager in a neighborhood bush and brought it home at 7 Jasper Street. She kept it in a cage, fed it birdseed, and learned from a teacher that the bird is a rare scarlet tanager. The plan is to turn it over to a zoo or release it after it regains strength.
