About this word search
The American robin is a thrush, much larger than the robin in British picture books. Early settlers named it after the small red-breasted bird they knew from home. Its orange breast on the lawn is one of the first signs of spring for many families.
Words go across, down and diagonally on this fourteen by fourteen grid, but never backwards. Blue jay is printed as one word, BLUEJAY. Woodpecker and Kingfisher are the longest names, and the K makes the second one easier to pin down.
Hang the sheet by a window with a feeder and keep a tally of which birds actually visit over a week. A male Cardinal at the feeder in winter, bright red against the snow, tends to win every vote for favorite.
