KDixon 1951 Journal Apr. 14 En route from Kerrville to San Antonio, Texas - I left Kerrville at 1:30 and drove via Boerne to San Antonio. The Edwards Plateau vegetation: juniper, Quercus texana, livocak prevails east or S E of Leon Springs nearly to San Antonio; junipers are intermingled there. I left San Antonio at 5:45 pm and drove to Austin where I put up for the night. Apr. 15 Onion Creek, 2 mi. S Delvalle, Travis Co., Texas - Gray over- cast; calm. I worked along this creek with its tall willows and cottonwoods, 8:45 - 10:10 a.m. - See acc't for Pausa _______________ . I drove E to a point 8 mi. E, 3 1/2 mi. S Delvalle IN Bastrop Co., Texas - I had visited this locality on Apr. 8, accompanying Mr. Edward Kincaid of Austin. In this area of mesquite and cedar elm - mesquite "woodland" I found Pausa bicolor nesting and a ? P. allicristatus "hybrid" (see bicolor acc't) I drove E at 11:45 to Bastrop. Colorado River at Bastrop, ___, Bastrop Co., Texas I spent the hour from 2:00 - 3:00 pm hunting along the river on the property of Mr. Long, who lives at the E edge of Bastrop. I collected one ? mouse. I also took a frog (# 555) from gravelly edge of a pool along a tributary brook and a Cnemidophorus (# 556). The latter seemed to as a refuge be one of three individuals which used a brush pile at the edge of the pool and the base of a steep smooth sandstone bank. I left Bastrop after 3:00, noting post oak woodland of uplands extending along Hwy. 70. 12 miles W Bastrop.
