Does anyone know how large a territory Scarlet Tanagers stake out?  I ask because  
on a recent run around the Oak Hill ski trails I heard and saw four male Scarlet  
Tanagers.  The second and third sightings were likely the same bird, as they were  
in fairly close proximity, but the third and fourth sightings were nearly two  
kilometers apart (the third was at the most remote point of the Outback Loop,  
while the fourth was along the final descent into the stadium), and the first  
and second were also a good distance apart.  I have been hearing a Scarlet Tanager  
singing near the beginning of the descent into the stadium fairly regularly, where  
the fourth sighting occurred, but the others were a pleasant surprise.
