K Dixon 1951 Journal Mch 6. resaca '½ mi S W Almito, Cameron Co., Tex. In dense growth of closely spaced sapling - like Elbony Tules ± 20' high, I heard song of Black- crested Titmouse at 9:45 am (high fog). Along partial clearing to S I encountered only White- eyed Vireo and Verdin. On water or shore were Solitary Sandpiper, Coot, Mexican Cormorant. Overhead, Red-shouldered Hawk, Black Vulture I left Harlingen at 1:00 pm, driving N on U.S. Hwy 77 through Raymondville. Countryside appeared to be coastal plain prairie with leaf- less "mesquite" but not other rigid xeric shrubs as seen along Arroyo at Harlingen. At point 7 mi S Armstrong, Kenedy Co., Texas, I saw live oaks for the first time on this road & also sand dunes inland from the highway. 9 mi S of Sarita, Kenedy Co., Tex one Sennette White-tailed Hawk in sand dune country. A few miles SW of Refugio I ran into good graves of mature live oaks often on sandy substrate with mesquite on higher ground. However as I drove on toward Victoria I noted an intermingling of live-oaks, deciduous oaks and mesquite away from the stream-courses. In some instances I noted an abrupt boundary between mesquite and grassland as though the mesquite had been cleared. Considerable area of plowed fields seen along way NE of Kingville toward Victoria. I ate in Victoria and reached Cuero, De Witt Co., Tex. spending the night there.
