Parus bicolor Apr. 8. 7 mi E DelValle, Travis Co., Texas was that two birds were present for the following reasons: 1 Close spacing of visits at 5:04 and 5:06 2 Differences in routes of approach 3 apparent duller and narrower forehead marking of bird which visited nest at 5:41 and 5:52 (noticed then in contrast to bird at 5:25). My notion is that the ♂ visited nest at 5:04 and 5:25 and the ♀ at 5:06, 5:10, 5:15, 5:41, and 5:52 p.m. We left the area at 6:00. Bird to SE did not sing again. Kincaid said he had seen Black-created Twice near here. He calls any Downee Black-created unless it has a black forehead and says that both types are distributed without particular habitat preferences but that the Tufted is very rare in the Western region. Kincaid seems keenly interested in birds generally and seems reliable. He said this was the first Downee nest he had ever seen. Also in area where nest seen we heard ladder-bird whdwn. 3 or 4 miles W was a point (meaguate) easternmost area where Kincaid had seen Curve billed Thrasher in Texas Apr. 8 Overcast; light W breeze.
