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?
