The hotel we stayed in at Hondo had an interesting sign in the room indicating that we were to keep the "areas clean of food and feathers". What's with this feather business?
When we first got settled in, the parking lot was empty except for us. Later that night I stepped outside to see the hotel full of full sized pick-ups all full with ice chests and hunting gear. My guess is that bird hunters regularly stay here, thus the notice to keep the place clean of feathers.
