K Dixon 1951 Journal 26. Mar 19. 4 mi. E Skidmore, Bee County, Texas. I started at the corner of the Rodriguez and Driscoll properties N county road Driscoll Rodriguez marked asterisk and hunted in pie-shaped tract of 600 yard radius S and W of that project. From 9:15 to 10:00 I saw only 2 individual birds, a Crested Flycatcher and a Ladder-backed Woodpecker. After 10:00 I walked through Rodriguez property (without my gun) and ran into a small flock of birds. Titmouse 1 pair (see species acct), White-eyed Vireo (1, singing), magnolia? warbler, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (several) Cardinal, ? Sparrow, Bewick Wren. (see vegetation comment below) From 10:30 - 11:45 I hunted on Driscoll property chiefly further S than I had been earlier. In oak- mesquite scrub I saw Robin (flock 6), Ladder-bill Woodpecker (♂, taken), White-eyed Vireo (taken, #490), single Crested Flycatcher. The Robins were on the ground beneath mesquite. The vegetation on the Rodriguez place appeared to be more closely spaced with more underbrush; perhaps this was the secret of less severe grazing or perhaps vegetation was removed from other property a few years previously. I drove into Beeville at noon, had lunch, then went to the post office where I received word of my sister's death. I returned to the ranch, straightened up my belongings and drove out of Beeville at 3:30, arriving in San Antonio 2 hours later.
