R Dixon 1951 Paris mayhaw Creek, 15 mi W Bastrop, Bastrop Co Texas = 8 mi E, 3 1/2 mi S Delvalle Apr. 20. At 9:35 bird singing to W and another well to S, Peta peta n Ketya Ketya by cave west individual sang 9:40 - 9:48 and sporadically 'til 9:50 - his singing appeared to be spontaneous, beginning without evident external stimulus. He was quiet for 5 min & I lost him - then he resumed song down creek at 9:54 - by 9:57 he was silent S of creek but farther S sang turn turn slowly, almost as though forced. At 10:02 he flew N across creek and sang Peter -- from dead tree, high up. I took him then (#580). At 10:15 I started W and met a gentleman on horseback, Mr Saunders of Bastrop, who owned the property where I had taken the 3 birds. It was kindly disposed toward me & we parted after a brief conversation. I proceeded upstream through the elm grove (no willows nor blackberries) toward bird digs. At 10:30, 5-125 yds upstream from fence, thrush sang from well downstream & from upstream (former bird S of 580). I saw a thrush call sip sip as though stimulated by the song. I lost track of it but found it 50 yds SE calling chak del del and then seeyp a kind of anxiety note. I lost track of the bird. # 580 had scolded: dait dait or del del alternately with song Peter Peter before & after he flew across creek at 10:02. This call lacked the sharp enunciation of that of petricistatus
