Feb. 11 3 mi. ESE De ( Valle spilled over down the slope leading to Onion Creek. On the slope, oaks were less numerous and elms much more so. I heard persistent singing from the junipere -50 yards S of barns &d followed this lead. Bird sang peter -- - and answered my whistle, then scolded. Song and scolding were alternated subsequently. I could see the bird low in the juniper-elm growth. Another titmouse, silent, bicolor-like, appeared in a juniper within 18 ft of me, perching near the top. I fired with a .22 and it flew W rapidly. I followed up quickly and saw two titmice moving along close to ground down a slope to the SW. A third titmouse, from the position where singer had been, moved along and joined them, the three seeming to get along amicably. I worked S after 12:00, whistling with little success. Titmice sang across pasture to E and also well to the S of my position. I returned to area occupied by the threesome but could stir up no response so I left at 12:15.
