K Dixon 1952 Journal Feb 5. 15 mi. W Bastrop, 600 ft., Bastrop Co., Texas I returned to elm bottomland 4:40-6:20 (there (5:00-5:45 only). See Armose acc't.

Creeper seen working along creek while I walked to more Loggerhead Shrike - one in mesquite clearing Phoebe - one along brook Slate-colored Junco - flock in elm woods downstream Eastern Bluebird - 2 pairs having fight; when first seen, 3 birds involved in chase above elm tops. Disturb soon drawn about dead tree in open area, a few mesquite where I had noticed Bluebirds before. The ♂ of the W pair (residents I had seen in area) gave notes as guttural as a bluebird probably can, chiefly of one syllable, and others were melodious. ♂ fluttered wings although other pair ± 30 ft distant. ♀ chimed in with single piping notes, higher pitch,
