K.Dixon 1951 23. Parnis atricriostatus March 1. Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge These birds seemed to be keeping in the lower branches of the elbow trees, the upper branches being leafed out more. One left moves on a small lower twig 1 ft out from trunk flew in toward trunk as Myrtle Warbler approached & occupied its perch; Amrose returned to same point to forage a few seconds later as warbler flew away. 1:13 - one Amrose flew S to tree where tray located. I watched his(?) mate forage on bases of Spanish Moss beads and on twigs; then I was unable to locate first. 1:18 - pair foraging at SW corner of clearing, in magnolia or shrub with dead leaves. see vet vet (subdued) & location notes. 1:20 yard pair in trees opposite Tree "B" one farther N than other. Former flew down and foraged in same tree as latter; location notes only. Latter(?) foraging below former suddenly flew up an took two short jumps toward former(?) and gave two spaced notes set perhaps more penetrating than the this bird also seemed to be extending empty closed bill; no wing flutter usual. ^ The former merely moved along and ignored the approach, significance of which I do not know. I was impressed with the former as he(?) flew S to join mate. "He" flew to one branch and bobbed slightly turning perhaps 10° either side of center. The black crest, which I have never seen lowered, formed a striking contrast to the white forehead and underparts. At 4:10 pair foraging in Tree S of C - one flew out to ebony tree to E calling sit sit sit sit rather rapidly. I watched a bird thus later and conduct notes
