March 3. Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge, 7 mi S Alamo, Hidalgo Co, Tex.
George Unland, patrolman who resides on the refuge,
identified two pigeons which circled The headquarters
[illegible] as being the Red-billed Pigeon (first spring). He also
thought he saw a Band-tailed Pigeon (dark body, light
belly).
I left the headquarters at 9:45 and drove down toward
the river. I saw a White-eyed Vireo in an area of more
closely spaced trees than the headquarters area. The song
I recorded as "whick fuzzee the bear" repeated
over and over. I spent about 20 minutes along the
river noting Harris' Hawk and Myrtle Warbler only.
Leaving the refuge about 10:40 I drove to San Benito
to Harlingen arriving there at 11:50.
March 4. L. Derby Davis of Harlingen took me on a drive up the
river in the vicinity of San Juan and La Feria.
9:30 - 11:30 a.m. We drove along the levee roads
for the most part.
Derby Flycatcher - one along small stream with
wooded banks
Sharp's Seedeater - one in lawn of farmhouse.
Ponds near Santa Maria, Cameron Co, Texas
