KDixon 1952 Parus bicolor Feb. 12 7 mi. NW Bastrop, 300 ft., Bastrop Co., Texas - Area of extensive juniper woods N of the Colorado River near the post office at Wtley. This area may be reached by driving about 2 miles W of Bastrop on Hwy 290, turning north part way up the hill. The crossing of the Colorado is made via the "High" Bridge. We had driven to the area by heading E from Austin on Farm Road; tree growth in the uplands was fairly continuous affording a route for interchange of individuals of eastern and western populations. OVERCAST cleared at 9:30; wind increased after 11:00. We reached this area about 9:45 and I started stalking a ♂ singing in a row of deciduous trees along the border of a field in the bottomland several feet below the level of the juniper woods. I shot at the ♂ and then at the ♀. The latter sat motionless in a small oak while I reloaded but then she disappeared. The ♂ had flown N ± 40 yards and resumed singing in answer to ♂ farther E. I located him and took him (718). I thought I heard bird drop and looked for his mate. This bird was in same tree and flew down to limb close to main trunk ± 15 feet up. I took her (719). Both birds bicolor-like. No further activity in this area. I worked along in junipers inside E edge of woodland after 10:30 taking a pair of Centurus in Blackjack oak there. I heard no thrice until after 11:00 a.m. when there was a burst of song keyth - - - from 50 yards W of truck. I followed up but got nowhere. Song again and scolded not yet as I approached; bird disappeared.
