I have found that swapping out the onion and adding 1/3 cup of shallots is divine.

Maybe a joke!

Wow, this got me wondering if anyone has any good recipes for thrushes or
buntings...I have heard they are quite tasty...or how about for plovers or
curlews?

Not a joke...or at least not funny.

Horrifying, isn't it.  Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings has a cookbook with a recipe for coots or gallinules.

All joking aside, I think this conversation has been extremely useful
and enlightening, so thanks to everyone for participating. I think it
speaks to the strengths of CTBirds and the CT birding community as a
whole to be able to have a conversation on a controversial topic like
this without things snowballing out of control. So many thoughtful and
fact-based statements. Also, we're lucky to have so many of the
state's most experienced birders willing to contribute.
