Fairbanks dinner

Yesterday was just a typical day... home at 5:30. take dog for walk. dog flushes a spruce grouse. grouse crashes into powerline, dies instantly (that part isn't really typical, tho not surprising cause they are just about the dumbest birds). walk home with grouse. pluck and butcher, fry up for dinner. meet kumi for a movie at 7 pm.

I actually had never cut open a bird before - to eat that is. I've cut open plenty of birds to insert radio transmitters, take biopsies, etc... but never to eat.

Needless to say, I was feeling very proud, very Alaskan. I'm still just an unemployed biologist - but at least I'm a well fed one!

HAH!!! I can just picture it. They definitely have pea sized brains.
