49. Apr. 14 Sabine Ranch, 5 mi. N Kerrville, Kerrlon Texas Clear and calm at 6:45 but variable winds after 8:00 a.m. I worked in the same general area as yesterday-- see acct for farms. Working along the brook (running water) I noticed small frogs in some places. They seemed to be along the banks only where there were dead leaves or other debris in the water and invariably they sought shelter beneath such materials when disturbed. I took one (#554). I noticed one white-tailed deer skull with antlers attached. Unfortunately, the antler tips had been dissolved by the brook waters in which they lay so I left the skull there. Armadillo carcass noted also. Bird list, Apr 13-14 Turkey Vulture Orange-crowned Warbler Wild Turkey Golden-cheeked Warbler Mourning Dove Solitary Vireo (singing) Ladder-bkd. Wdker.
