I had this conversation with someone yesterday re: robins. Is it just me, or are there less robins now than when I was a kid. ('70's to '80's). I can remember my yard being full of robins and now I don't hardly ever see one. Do they follow the flyway? Is it a coincidence that there are less ducks and robins at the same time?

[ACEINTHEHOLE]

My yard has been full of them the past two weeks.

I think your just in the wrong place

[MudHog]

They are very good to eat, but last I know they were $500 or $700 per bird if caught with them. So yea, they are illegal to shoot them.

[Wingman]

Ok, next question. Are they legal to shoot. I figure cook them like a dove with cream cheese, jalapeno and bacon and they cant taste bad.

Do you think it would possibly help if they were basted in a pondberry sauce?

I heard they were paying worm farmers to leave their worms laying on the ground.
