This is not a Texas bird, but has important potential be become one.. An experienced observer found an American Black Duck at Red Slough WMA in SE Oklahoma yesterday. He reports the bird flushed and flew southeast. This location is only maybe two miles from Texas. Birders in the northeast part of the state might be on alert. This species is insanely rare in Texas.
