NOVEMBER 24, 2015

Though I have been birding for a few years now, I had only birded west of the Mississippi once before my recent trip to Austin, Texas. The first looked very similar to a Mourning Dove , which of course can be found across the United States. Given how far west I found myself, I was hoping for at least a handful of new birds.

Consider Charlie Stenholm, a former Texas Congressman turned agricultural lobbyist. Stenholm is a spokesperson for the "Horse Welfare Coalition"—a quintessential illustration of doublespeak, for the Horse Welfare Coalition is an inappropriately named organization that is working to keep horse slaughter legal in the United States.
