Feb 25. Juniper Flat, Chisos Mts., 5600 ft., Brewster Co., Texas
I climbed up to this area at the suggestion of Peter Koch,
a resident of the park and an interested observer of birds.
Vegetation was more dense than that below, principally
juniper again although with some patches of oaks. (See
acc't of Parus atricristatus). I spent from 10:00 am until
noon on the lower part of the flat. Overcast until about
11:30. Wind variable. Birds seen.
Red-shafted Flicker
Ladder-backed Woodpecker
Acorn-storing Woodpecker (heard)
White-throated Swift (1)
Sphenocoma ultramarina - call note yake-yake
seemed identical to that of birds in Arizona
Scrub Jay
Black-veiled Titmouse (see acc't)
Bush-tit (flock 8-10)
Bewick Wren (song seemed to have same pattern as in
coastal Calif.)
