Every time I see this subject line I think of Lonesome George Gobel.  
That was a loooong time ago.  I hope the wild ones have more flavor than 
the frozen ones purveyed by the supermarkets and restaurants.  I would 
gladly tolerate some toughness and lack of buttery injection in exchange 
for free range flavor.  db

Flocks of them travel together through thisneighborhood  clucking very loudly feeding here and there at the edge of woodedareas.  There are a few males (larger with an impressive display fan of tail feathers)and large numbers of smaller females mostly in shades of brown.  Flocks can betwenty or more.
