K Dixon 1952 atricristatus Jan 30 11 mi. NWourdanton, 700 ft., Atascosa Co., Texas whether or not this was a squabble involving members of 2 pairs. One bird moved nearer to me still giving chattering chat chat not vehement as sometimes is the case. I fired with a .22 which had no effect. Both birds flew W and continued scolds. I followed up and found them more wary. One however came toward me as though curious again and I took him (# 652♂); no calls from mate. I worked thru brush carefully immediately, leaving 1st bird lie. I located second foraging in shrub 6 ft high - no notes. I took this bird; crest not as black as preceding (♀, 653). Long heard intermittently until 10:00 a.m., when I left area
