top) magnum with my birds, but i will admit he does look better. so g.

bottom) me with some birds i got out on the islands. i roasted these with bacon, carrots, mushrooms, turnips, stuffed with onion and garlic.  these birds are super tasty, they have a fresh/spruce-like flavor.  when you are cleaning them there is a little pouch on top of their breasts that holds a bunch of whole spruce needles.  people tell me they used to dry that spruce pouch out and make rattles.
