Abstract

S. W. Woodhouse made observations on birds in Texas from 27 February to 29 June 1851. Most work was near San Antonio and along the road from that city to El Paso. His accomplishments include collection of type specimens of the Black-capped Vireo (Vireo atricapillus) and Cassin's Sparrow (Aimophila cassinii), as well as establishing new state records for several species. Woodhouse's published report of 153 species stated or implied lo occur in Texas represents the first and most comprehensive enumeration of the avifauna of the state.
