Pages Mch 25. 3 mi ENE Skidmore, Bee Co., Texas White-eyed Vireo, Magnolia? Warbler. The Vireo foraged on branches of oak and lycium? shrubs and was active - it dropped to the ground once. It moved along at a rate about as fast as I could walk, the other birds going along in the same direction. No song, 2 females alone. I shot at the bird twice but it kept going and I lost track of it. Great blackish forehead? No other Vireos in area. I heard a song pay-ta pay-ta from N of the road in live oaks (underbrush cleared) and walked there to investigate. In the oaks at the edges of a large cleared area at 10:50 I ran into a flock similar in composition to the one seen S in Magnolia. Two Vireos were present calling chek chek det, nasal but not the sharp vet vet vet of Rio Grande Valley birds. I followed the bird which called less frequently and took her after a siege of firing pin trouble. The wind was blowing stronger from E and rain was falling. I stalked the mate of the bird I had taken but it flew to another oak 30 ft SW. I got in a shot there and the bird seemed to have dropped in the tree, called see see see and flew to next oak SW then NW at a rapid pace. I located the bird calling from N of a fence in property I had no right to hunt on so I let it go. Later song peta peta from there. Still later I heard muthatch-like enk enk or yank yank call from same vicinity.
