KDixon 1952 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.
