KDH 1952 Parus bicolor Feb. 5. 15 mi. W Bastrop SUNNY; LIGHT BREEZE from S. I walked S and reached dam at 7:58 (slow walk three woods had revealed no titmice) Titmouse singing tree---(tree) from elms immediately downstream from dam. Answer from S repeatedly and from W out in a while, a different type of song, slower, perhaps tweeer--- I followed up S bird and found that song had come from woods S of grassy field. Bird now gave peyta --- always 3 phrases per song best answer from W --- I located singer in large elm along fence at N edge of field at 8:05 Tiny---. Song ceased shortly - 2 titmice together and I couldn't be sure of it. Birds moved into low elms to N and it soon opened up again. I waited, then fired at it with .38 she was only frightened and flew NE into mesquites, male following. He perched giving tsit and she (?) scolded from mesquite to W. I fired another .38 and she flew W to edge of elms.... bird seemed wobbly and I eventually downed her (678 S). This point was 112 yards N of fence (at song perch tree, 8:05) on E edge of elm patch where I had seen bird about 10:25 Feb. 4. Time 8:20. I worked E to follow up note and saw bird fly into N edge of elm patch E of clearing. I approach and watched him forage - bird saw a moth and began aerial pursuit, first among branches of elm while drifting downward, then out into open
