K' Dixon 1952 Parus atricristatus Feb. 8. 7 mi. SW Austin 500 ft., Travis Co., Texas stimulus after it had once stopped. The junipers it resorted to were dense and the bird did not come out of hiding. (I was reminded of an information on his territory wailing and letting the intruder take the initiative). I abandoned this stalking at 12:15 although bird still singing as I left. Titmice were singing in the Gaines farm yard after 12:30 as we departed. I had supposed the one singing at 12:15 was the mate of 698 and that the latter was ? Autopsy showed that 2 DO must have been involved. I agree with Dr. Miller that these birds sing more and later in the day (under similar amount of windiness) than do the bicolor in area 15 mi W Bastrop. Miller noted one singing at edge of junipers along large bend in creek. He followed it into junipers and moved ahead only to hear it singing behind him in streamside elms. This and other observations led us to believe that the titmice use the junipers but also need the other types of trees as well. The long strings of bark trunk without deep crevices do not afford foraging surface such as the check-barked junipers in the Chisos Mts.
