K Dixon 1951 Parus April 4 Spring Creek, 6 1/2 mi. ESE Skidmore, 175 ft., Bee lo, Texas There [illegible] gave series of soft sit-sit-sit notes almost a twitter and simultaneously fluttered its wings. I looked in vain for another [illegible]. This behaviour soon passed off in a few seconds and bird began to forage on cattains -- I took it with a half load, close range at that, at 9:40 Bird #534 had pale crest & most chestnut I have seen on forehead of those taken by me. I walked S to the northward loop of the first oxbow reached traveling downstream (9:55) and gradually worked downstream. I expected to reach a road crossing where I had been on March 28. However, I got crossed up in my plan to return up Spring Creek and instead went up the Arkansas -- I turned N on a stream course which proved to have the road crossing I was seeking -- it lay W Spring Creek. I walked W a few hundred yards to the house, arriving at 11:40. I had heard no [illegible] since taking the one at 9:40 (on March 28 I heard one in the area between Spring Creek and the small stream-course to the W). April 5. Calm, overcast; had rained lightly before dawn. I heard the [illegible] singing periodically from 6:00 - 7:00 am along the Arkansas River S of the house.
