Parus carolinensis Mar 30. Spring Creek, 6½ mi. ENE Skidmore, Bee Co., Texas I looked in the area where I had seen the chickadee yesterday for fully 15 minutes but couldn't locate it. I worked through liveoak further east but wasn't able to locate any chickadees. (See Parus spoc. accit). April 1. Guadalupe River, 4½ mi ENE Skidmore, Bee Co., Texas In an area about 1 mile upstream from the bridge (just west of the Driscoll property line, 100 yards S of the river I heard song "chee-be, phoebe" and then saw a chickadee in dense liveoak – mesquite growth. It moved away quickly and I wasn't able to collect it. (9:00 am – cloudy – windy) April 21. Mayhaw Cr., 15 mi. W Bastrop, Bastrop Co., Texas. In elm- meseague woodland about 9:00 I ran across a noisy troop of chickadees. The parents were active in feeding the young while remained stationary, waiting to be fed. The parents seemed to be doing most of the calling but I heard no song.
