Irate Texan
Mourning Dove, Zenaida macroura.
You’ve seen this dove from Both Sides Now.
NYTimes this morning reports that Texans are powerless and irate, due to the state-wide ice storm. Some have been irate for quite a while. This peaceful dove should not be categorized that way. The photographer, however, is both crabby about a 2nd day without electricity, and grateful for a working gas fireplace and stove, and for the hospitality of friends. Windmills in the North Sea work fine under worse conditions, but ERCOT did not plan for what now turns out to be the worst case.
Could happen again.
