June 21 Boykin Springs, Jasper Co., Texas
Up at 0500. Temp. min at 69°F. Had a quick breakfast
+ then into field. Went back to watch Pinewoods Sparrows
to get more data on nest-building. Dick was to take tape
recorder + drive around trying to find singing Pinewoods
Sparrows. I had no luck with #1 pair + finally went to look
at nest. Found it apparently completed. Did not see ♀. Heard
another σ singing so over to try to map its territory. Soon
found (flushed) a very excited ♀. Spent until 1030 following
this pair around. Finally located a fledgling in under a
shrub. Caught this bird + parents stayed for slightly less
than 2 hours when Dick returned. He + I managed to
get both parents.
Back to camp for lunch + prepare specimens. Dick
went for quick swim while I finished birds. Went back
out to see where Dick had been in morning. Turn to E (right)
on R63 toward Jasper then left at first dirt road. When
