Mch 14. 9 mi NW Bryan in Robertson Co., Texas 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.
