7 mi. NW Bastrop, 300 ft., Bastrop Co, Texas - we left
Camp before 8:00 a.m. and drove to Austin, then out a farm
road which is a continuation of East 19th Street. We
proceeded for something beyond 20 miles, passing through
Webberville, on the N bank of the Colorado. We stopped in
one patch of juniper woodland about 2 mi NW Utley P.O.
where A.H. Miller took 3 [illegible] prior to 9:30.
We arrived in an area of dense juniper woods about
[unclear] 9:45. Juniper trees were tall (25-30 ft) and formed a
solid stand, with few deciduous oaks scattered through-
out. (See acct for Parus bicolor)
Red-bellied Woodpecker - I took a ? (721) perched in
a blackjack oak at E edge of woods. Bird was dead but
carried on branch. As I was studying means of retrieving
bird, a ? flew into tree and gave call which I think
was "turrit" - repeated several times from perch
high in oak. I took it (722)
Blue Jay - several in area giving nasal caah-
note and other calls. I heard "rusty gate squeak"
note" a croaking ca-a-ah somewhat Bufo-like.
I have heard this note from other jays previously
but never from C. cristata.
Crow - common in area
Robin - abundant, in small flocks, attracted
to juniper berries in all probability.
Carolina Chickadee - not common
Cardinal , Myrtle warbler, Slate-colored
juncos also seen. Sceloporus at base of barned
