scope was the factor responsible for the financial
support which had been obtained for the study.
Mch 15.
1 mi E College Station, Brazos Co., Texas
I wandered around the residence area before breakfast
then spent the period from 8:10 until 9:50 a.m. in the
woodland area to the E of the city limits. See species
acc't for Pans bicolor. I noted several Robins foraging
individually and a group of 3 in contrast to the lone bird
seen last week. Only one Flicker (yellow-shafted)
At 10:30 I noticed a lone Starling on the lawn at
A&M College. At noon we noted the large flock
of Quiscalus which has been travelling through the
neighborhood. The birds congregate under oak trees
apparently feeding on acorns but we saw them foraging
in the open as well (ground with scattered tufts of grass).
There were a number of Brown-headed Cowbirds among
the grackles. One grackle hopped along with its
injured leg held up. The others walked of course.
I observed twice again in the same area E of the house
from 5:20 until 6:20.
Mch 16. I left College Station at 9:45 a.m. proceeding via Bryan on
Texas Hwy 21 and U.S. 77 to Giddings, Lee Co. A mile or two
S of here live oaks appeared. I noticed pines S of the
hamlet of Warda,
Co., and a mixture of pine, juniper,
live oak and post oak in the vicinity of La Grange, Fayette Co.
live oaks appeared more numerous in the area near
Schulenburg, Fayette Co.
