Is it just me or do the robins

I’m seeing more of them than usual this year and they all look healthy.

When I was a kid I had an uncle in St. Amant who would sit on his carport with a pellet gun and slaughter robins - he swore that robin breasts made the best jambalaya.

I worked with a guy from StA that said this very thing. I may have worked with your uncle.

Shooo ... make some rice

I am seeing them in NC more than I have in a long time.

They eat good....so I've heard

I haven't seen hardly any this year (South, South LA - I mean deeeep South). They are definitely good to eat (or so I've heard - or something like that depending on who's asking).

Same here, it’s been strange. Although, I’m gone for two weeks at a time, so I’m sure there’s been a few that have snuck through while I’m gone.

I young boy, who looks like me, killed a shite pile of them back in the day. Cleaned them and brought them to my (the other guy’s) grandmother. She fried them up and they were the best thing I had ever eaten. Much sweeter than dove or duck. A lot less gamey than cardinals or blue jays.

I know a kid that got a quarter a piece for them in 70s.

Saw a huge one in my backyard. The squirrels, doves & cardinals all cleared out when he made his way under my bird feeders. Saw a much smaller one in my neighbor's front yard today. I'll try to whip out my phone and video the next big one I see.
