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.
