Parus bicolor
Feb 4 15 mi. W Bastrop, 600 ft., Bastrop Co., Texas
I returned to area along brook course below dam about
1:30 p.m. SUNNY; BREEZE NEGLIGIBLE. I noted one
titmouse fly from one elm along brook to one S and
continue foraging there (area where I watched at 9:13 today).
Bird gave call see-che-up once. No mate seen and bird
disappeared shortly afterward (a bird which may have
been the titmouse flew to E side of road about 1:45).
I worked in area below dam to point 375 yards E
of road until after 3:00 pm WIND STRONG again,
remaining so through afternoon. No titmice detected.
Dr. Miller told me of having worked E of the roadway
after 10:00 a.m. today and of seeing 4 pairs of
titmice in addition to an apparently unmated S close
to road. The latter had a Cedar Waxwing-like
note which may have been the one I recorded as
“phleet”. Probably the S I left at 9:35.
