K Dixon 1951 Journal 3 Feb. 24 Chisos Basin, 5400 ft., Brewster Co., Texas Raven Mexican Jay Rock Wren Bewick Wren Canyon Wren (song) Hermit Thrush Bl-crested Titmouse Mockingbird Ruby-crowned Kinglet Pine Siskin (flock 12) House Finch Spotted Towhee Brown Towhee (1) Rufous-crowned Sparrow most common bird Gray-headed Junco 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.)
