Parus
Apr. 15. Onion Creek 2 mi. S Delvale, Travis Co., Texas
Gray overcast, calm. I reached this area (visited briefly
with Edward Kincaid Apr. 8) at 8:45 a.m. There was a bend here
where the stream had cut a high bank. Tall willows, cottonwoods,
and other deciduous trees grew along the banks. At 9:05 I
succeeded in getting a glimpse of a towmouse I had heard singing.
The bird foraged in willow & did not sing while I watched it (I'm
not sure it was a ?). Its crest was black & forehead white.
It sang faintly -- -- before I approached the area
and left -- -- later.
I worked upstream to point where log lies across the
creek where we saw a similar bird last Sunday. No t/mouse
activity 9:05 - 9:25 - I was unable to see the towmouse downstream
by 9:43 so I drove E. I noted towmice in/ulus along the road
near the intersection 10:00 - 10:10.
