Outdoor Life

White wings used to be found south of the Rio Grande in Mexico, but they're all over the place in Texas, now. Very intrusive species; the native mourning doves have shrunk to the size of sparrows. White wings are tasty, like the dark meat of a chicken, only better. If I still hunted, I could limit out every day with one ground shot under my bird feeder (yes it would be illegal, and yes my neighbors would be upset). As it is, I just keep the greedy bastards nourished. The cardinals and scrub jays manage to get a beak-full of expensive seed when the white wings take flight.
