geof_junk Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I have found a couple of spot that they frequent and got more than a dozen sunbakers at each location. I was unlucky, as hard as I tried could not see any Plumas Kwail that alone catch one or a pair to breed but will try next April if it the first thing I will do. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Thank klunk. Er ... should I say thanks for what ... those dang birds haven't been in Southern California in many, many years. I think I'm going to look for them one day up in your area but I don't know when. I'm sure Paul will be up there looking for the nests soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Come ahead on up. But beware of the Sierra Croc! Now there's a nugget digging son of a gun, but you'll have to wait about another year for my report about them.

rvpopeye Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 So , stringy chicken. You'll need a pinpointer when you clean them out though. But if you mesquite smoke it ! You might forget about gold ,,,well , for a minute or two anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geof_junk Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Here in Oz they taste like Mutton Bird, very fatty. "Adult short-tailed shearwaters, or 'mutton birds', fly halfway around the globe to hatch and raise a single chick each year in colonies across southern Australia, returning to the same sandy burrow every spring." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 So kinda like a cross between an old sheep and an american ground hog!!! I'm in, so somebody better start the fire. Oh and bring plenty of paper towels and beverages of choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
