Parna bicolor 1. March 8. 1 mi E College Station, 370 ft., Brazos Co., Texas high thin "see tee" from distance in leafless oak at edge of clearing at 8:35 (I had heard song "purtly purty purty purty" from that area to which agitated chickadee had alternated "kisa dee deese") Bird flew lower into scrubby oaks as Turkey Vulture have interview. 8:42 Sparrow hopping upward in oak "see tee" somewhat plaintive over and over and "tick" - see tee the ticks infrequent, a "contact note" Bird appeared to be alone. I was impressed with the difficulty of following these birds, drab against the forest upright gray trunks with their vertically furrowed bark. 8:46 - second tit in tree 20 ft to SE silent. In answer to song from SW, bird I had been watching gave "tick-petew petew peter." After half a minute he flew without sound across a firebreak to trees 60 feet to NE. I was stopped by fence. Song peter peter peter in answer to such song from woods to SE (where I had searched 8:00 - 8:30 without finding any parids) The black forehead shows up strikingly in these birds but I do not believe that they carry their crests as erectly as atricristatus. Silence until 9:00 then song "hew hew hew" or "ture ture" which I think in this case was mockingbird
