Apr. 30. 1 mi. NW Ft. Davis Both songs were of the deliberate, spaced peer peer peer ype (or pee-ur), seldom more than 3 phrases per song. The bird upslope moved W and I followed bird II in riparian timber. The latter was quiet as I walked slowly under the tall cottonwoods. About 9:00 as I was nearer the road among small willows beside the stream I heard song pea-crur-ur, rather rattling in quality, from oak S of road. The bird then gave vet vet vet notes, flew across road NW and then worked downstream, followed by mate. I could not locate them until about 9:15 when I heard same song from same oak. I saw the bird, foraging now, suspended from terminal twig & I fired; he flew to another perch & I missed another long shot. I saw the bird (II) flying upslope. About 9:35 I walked down the road with gun unloaded. I left gun at the car & walked N a cross road to collect a plant. Two thrice flew across road to N and I returned for gun. I saw "conchship" feeding of 2 by changing upsidedown from twig but I could not load gun in time to take them. This was second feeding and I was not noisy.

One called zip and flew into cottonwood; as I walked toward it, it called "see see see re-deck re-deck red-deck" and I could see whitish material (disk flowers) in beak. Mate followed into cottonwood, then & led way across road into lone live oak, I following. Then both flew into
