34. Mar 28. Aransas River, 5 1/2 mi ENE Skidmore, Bee Co., Texas on the N side, from the slotted portal; then others flew from the one on the E side of the house. I had hoped to hit one with my slingshot but only one more flew, at 7:06. All the bats, which suggested Eptesicus, in appearance flew E toward the river pastures & meadows to N thereof. Nyctidromus started calling at 7:06. I searched a pool N of the house carefully but found no amphibians. Mar 29. Spring Creek, 6 1/2 mi ENE Skidmore, Bee Co., Texas Clouds clearing, sunny, wind from NW up to 12 mph. This area, liveoaks (predominately) magnolia and brush along the creek, postoaks widely spaced in the uplands, is about 1 mile N of the house I am living in. I reached the area at 7:30 am and stayed there until noon. For full acct see under Pumas. I jumped 2 white-tailed deer in dense growth along the creek and a cottontail rabbit in a blackbrush thicket. Barred Owl - several seen chiefly in large liveoak trees where they appear to roost. They are wary and I never got within gun range. Carolina Chickadee-(see othe. acct) Robin - 2 in thicket with other passerines Yellow-throated Warbler in flocks with great-kether and Black-and-White and Myrtle Warblers. Hooded Warbler - one came through brush as I squeaked. Seaphiodes I found a mummified frog at noon on the road in a sandy area 50 yards from the creek. I preserved it as # 509.
