Texbirders, I spent another 2 hours at the bird blind and was joined midway through by my wife. Unfortunately, she came too late to see a black bird with a red eye. It was partially obscured by mesquite leaves. The head was dark, not brown and the eye was definitely red. The only thing I know it could be would be an adult Bronzed Cowbird. The skunk must have spent the night eying the birds in the cowbird cage. He was there when I arrived and soon departed.
