KDixon 1952 Journal Feb. 20. Palo Duro Canyon, 13 mi. E Canyon, ± 3400ft., Randall Co., Texas CLEAR, COLD, CALM. I drove E out of Canyon after 7:45 a.m. toward the State Park which is 12 miles E of the town. Ring-necked Pheasant ♂ and group of 3 Starlings noted on outskirts of the town. I reached the Park entrance and proceeded along the main road which descends into the Canyon. I left the car beside the road at 8:30 and walked along the brook which had ice along its edges. I stayed in area until 9:10. See acct for Parus atricristatus. Other birds singing included Bewick Wren and Ladder-backed Warbler drumming). No birds not seen on Harrell Ranch. Area similar, cottonwoods along stream and juniper woods elsewhere. I drove up out of the canyon or to the plateau or rim. I noted 2 Scaled Quail sitting at the roadside their feathers ruffled and bodies resting on the ground. Their bodies were in contact like those of chickens on a roost. A love bird sat similarly on the other side of the road. I approached on foot and the birds rose to their feet slowly and walked away. At least half a dozen were sunning in a similar manner a few feet from the road. Time 9:20a.m. I drove back into Canyon and called on Mr. C.B. McClure, Director of the Panhandle Plains Museum. He called my attention to an article on Birds of the Texas Panhandle by A.S. Hawline published in 1945.
