Regarding the message wondering how it tastes:

It probably tastes almost as good as roast Spotted Owl!

I have a paperback book buried somewhere about Waugher's (spelling?): "A Naturalist's Mexico", in which he met a Mexican (logger?) in the Maderas del Carmen Mountains not far from Big Bend National Park. He claimed the Mexican told him he's had Imperial Woodpecker for lunch. But I think the author's leg was being pulled, myself. The word was probably out that some Gringo was looking for the woodpecker, and, Lo and Behold, that Gringo showed up!
