HI:
I read an account in the Natural History of the WA Territory about eating
black turnstones from Blakely rock, Bainbirdge island, WA. Also
paleo-Indians use to eat all sorts of bird species that we wouldn't eat
today. A grad student sent me a list of species of birds (bones) she has
found in shell/garbage middens in the state. Cormorants and short-tailed
albatross are up there on the list! I really don't think either of them
really taste like chicken!
