A Guide to the Edgar Bryan Kincaid, Jr., Papers, 1958-1979 Born
to rancher and oilman Edgar Bryan Kincaid, Sr., and his wife
Lucille McKee in San Antonio, Texas, Edgar Bryan Kincaid, Jr.
(1921-1985) moved to Austin in 1939 to live with his aunt Bertha
McKee and her husband and folklorist J. Frank Dobie. Graduating
from the University of Texas at Austin in 1943, Kincaid spent
much of his time on ornithological field trips in Texas and
Mexico. Following the death of ornithologist Harry C. Oberholser
in 1963, Kincaid began editing and researching for Oberholser’s
The Bird Life of Texas (1974). A charter member of the Texas
Audubon Society, he was also an active member of the Texas
Ornithological Society. Smyrl, Vivian Elizabeth. "Kincaid, Edgar
