Apr. 28. 11 mi. NW Jourdanton only stunned and flew on - his mate was wary and I abandoned this search about 10:00.

Her mate gave location notes from mesquites to W, then worked E & S into clump of shrubs among mesquite trees. It gave location notes frequently but neither longer calls nor song. I took it (#615) at 11:15. (foraging on smaller twigs of mesquite). Working back N to the windmill, I heard a song from a bird I had heard earlier to W of air in which I took 612, 613. Also call from trees in which I took 612. Bird from latter area flew W to shrubs from which other pair came into my view first at 8:50. I hit him with a .38 & he flew 15 ft to another shrub. Then I fired with a .22 and bird flew rapidly SW then
