K Dixon 1951 Parus atricuriatatus Feb 25. Juniper Flat, 5600 ft., Chisos Mts., Brewster Co., Texas. From a distance these notes sounded like scolding calls of P. inornatus. For a while I could hear pip notes of one bird to S of me as I sat beside juniper. At 11:21 I walked S and watched at Edmuse foraging within 20 feet of point where I had seen birds at 10:10. Fifty yards or so to W I ran onto a pair foraging - juniper to juniper, often plucking plates of bark off branches, hanging underneath a branch chickadee-fashion, keeping up series of zip notes. Occasional hammering. At 11:34, two Edmice still where I had found them and at least one calling seech det from time to time 75 yards across a clearing, See see see chid det once, rhythm similar to some P. inornatus voice but more nasal quality. I went across the clearing and saw one bird foraging in a juniper at the edge of the clearing. It was apparently alone. The bird flew 40 ft W at 11:42 - I do not think a second it was present although two ruby-crowned Kinglets foraged in the same tree. I walked 125 yards W into an area with a heavier growth of osha. There I called up one Edmuse as well as Spotted Towhee and Bewick Wren. The tot perched conspicuously, with head turned to one side and crest erect. As I raised my binoculars, it called "see see see" "det det det" It continued to high pitched nasal wren-like thin scold det det det for at least 5 minutes. This could have been the bird seen to E at 11:42. I walked back downslope and called up 3 Edmuse
