Other suggestions have entered the discussion...Red-winged Blackbird,
Great-tailed Grackle and Turkey Vulture.
OK so here is the direct quote from BLOT 1974 (actually the MS was
submitted in 1972) "The __________ is the only native Texas bird with
written occurrence in every one of the state's 254 counties; the only other
wild bird which is equally ubiquitous is the imported English House
Sparrow.."
As mentioned earlier, this is a 40 year old account and things may well
have changed and in fact likely have, but thinking back to that time, the
question is what was the species the author(s) were referring to?
