LlWolt 1963 Parus wollweberii June 28 mi S. Patal, Cochise Co., Arizona Found nest in hole where limb had broken off 25' up in oak along stream bed. Adult was feeding young which could be heard begging when adult was at rest. When I first noticed birds I thought they had come in response to Pipary Owl imitation. At intervals one of two visible gave begging display + once I thought this bird went to cost entrance. It seems as if this adult was being followed by flying young while feeding 2nd nest. Perhaps the flying young were also helping care for 3rd nest. About 200 yards further up trail I called in an adult of Parus sclateri undergoing postnuptial molt. If they are resident here then 2 species of Parus are occupying same stream bed woodland. June 30 Guadalupe Canyon, Hidalgo Co., New Mexico This is the common pair in the canyon. Occurs in riparian vegetation of sycamores, oaks, + juniper. Encountered usually in family groups of 3-5. A markern collected today (1962) was alone. Groups are spaced about 300 yards apart in canyon. July 1 mi. S. Animas, Hidalgo Co., New Mexico Clanton Canyon #1910 - light body molt. primaries 1+2 3/4 grown #3 sheathed rest of flight feathers old. bird very worn.
