Vulture Times. 



March and April brought back the 

 Vulture days to us. As it had been a 

 long time since Mr. G. E. Maxon and 

 myself had made a Vulture egg hunt 

 to our old tramping grounds. The 

 War and other things had separated 

 us for several years, and this spring 

 found us in business and working to- 

 gether. So a Vulture egg hunt was 

 suggested to be had at Jefferson 

 Crossings forty miles up the River 

 that I'uns into Lake worth, and later 

 forms the Trinity River. The country 

 is hilly and rocky, with rocky cliffs 

 and ledges at the tops. Mr. Maxon 

 drove up to my camps with his Tin 

 Lizzie. "We had a man to watch our 

 Boat and Minnow business, and away 



we went. Along the road the pastures 

 were alive with bird life. Discovered 

 some Killdeers on our way out. Ar- 

 rived at the hunting grounds. While 

 Mr. Maxon was trudging over the 

 rocks a Turkey Vulture flushed out 

 and there he found a nice set of eggs. 

 As he hunted one rocky hill I hunted 

 another. I never flushed many vul- 

 tures, but found one set of Black and 

 one set of Turkey Vultures. While 

 I was doing all this tumbling and slid- 

 ing up and down the hills, Mr. Maxon 

 was trudging patiently along now and 

 then finding a set. He succeeded in 

 collecting two showy sets of Turkey 

 Vultures and a set of Blacks. We 

 never had a set time to get back to 

 the car. Oh! Excuse me I never 

 meant car. I meant to say Ford. 

 Well Mr. Maxon makes this tin Lizzie 

 of his do nearly everything but hunt 

 and climb hawks' nests. We both 

 got back to the Lizzie at about the 

 same time. Homeward bound well 

 satisfied, as we got what we went 

 after. We hope all collectors good 

 luck this season. I collected a set of 

 Belted Kingfishers near my camps, 

 and a full set of seven. Incubated? 

 Yes, that's my luck, so bad that I 

 could not blow them.

 Texas Bird Notes, 1920. 



On Sunday, FebruaiT 22d, a flock of 

 about 30 ducks were seen flying down 

 the River past this village by Henry 

 Weber. He says they were flying low, 

 about 200 feet up, and were good sized 

 ducks, although he could not tell to 

 what species they belonged. 



This is something unusual as we 

 very seldom see ducks before the mid- 

 dle of March.
