Dale,

Pecans are their own Southern food group. Wing nuts are indigestible, unless you’re a squirrel.

Though I can understand why some folks would be amused at hearing them called "pee-cans." WF, ’round these parts we consider the “p’kon” pronunciation of “pecan” to be pretentiously high-falutin’.

I had a teacher who grew up in the Almond growing area of California's central valley. He had quite a bit of experience in snow surveys and in the 70s went to Afghanistan to help them set up their own. While walking around the countryside he ran into some kids who wanted to practice their English. I'm sure there's a whole generation of Afghans that still pronounce them 'A-mends' and not 'AW-monds' Speaking of pronounciations…

My bad about the ice cream. I just remember someone asking what it was w/ us Southerners and our pecans. For you yanks and left coasties, please pronounce "puh-cons" or you'll hurt someone's spine.

And don't eat the lungs. (Swabbing is just taking the samples, not anything you need to do for food prep.) I'll be testing hawks via our banding program. We don't actually expect that we'll find any infected birds in that population, but negative results are just as important as positive results. Fowler, just cook ‘em first. And don’t eat the lungs.

I saw somewhere that an "avian flu jr." had reached us, but haven't heard anything since. Any info? Dove & Teal season are upon us, so if I need to swab their butts before I feed 'em to the little rednecks, let me know. siobhan, what birds are you after?
