54. Apr 23. In route, College Station to San Antonio, Bexar Co., Texas post oak and blackjack oak prevailed. When I was within 2 or 3 miles of Seguin, Guadalupe Co., the forest of these species appeared to drop out. There were elms along the Guadalupe River W of town (judged from car) but mesquite with a few Eastern Kingbird 9 mi. E San Antonio elms prevailed to SW. I reached San Antonio about 3:00 and then drove toward Beeville, arriving at 5:45. I stayed in town transacting business until after 8:00 pm, then drove to the Claude Hard Ranch 8 mi. SE Beeville, Bee Co., Texas I talked with the foreman, Mr. Ted Scott, who let me take a badly-mashed "threading adder" to be preserved as #589. He said that rattlesnakes were being met frequently on the ranch now. I drove on to the Corrigan house, noting a Raccoon and several Jackrabbits along the way. Apr 24. Spring Creek, 6 1/2 mi. ENE Skidmore, Bee Co., Texas - Cloudy all day but no rain; wind strong from SE. I hunted in live oak - post oak area and took a pair of Lark Sparrows and a single ♀ (#593) all in this "savana" type growth. This bird is abundant here. One Catbird in same area. Crested Flycatchers are consistently noisy in this same habitat. I spent most of my time checking on the Wrice (see acc't). I was in this area from 6:55 until 10:10 a.m. WIND progressively stronger, making work difficult. At the Corrigan home on the Brazos River I saw ♀ & ♂ Orchard Oriole moving along together. In midafternoon, I drove to Beeville. Further N along the creek and I took a Phrynosora (#590) and saw a way Golden-fronted Woodpecker in post oak - live oak savana.
