Well i have the best stand of corn I've ever had. 4 big blocks with staggered planting. My first is ready and is being harvested last night and tomorrow. Unfortunetly i have to rely on my wife to pick as i had surgery last Friday. The danged blackbirds are destroying what i worked so hard for in just 1 day's time. So now i sit with the 12 gauge practicing my skeet abilities. I am vowing to get more of this corn than the birds. They probably took 40% of my first block in one day. They work together in packs like crows,but aren't as smart as they keep coming back for more lead.:D

Blackbird pie is pretty good. Of course it's kinda like the old nursery rhyme that it takes four and twenty blackbirds to make a pie. When I was a kid, we'd sometimes get a dozen or more with one shot from the 12 guage and the breast was the only thing big enough to be worth fooling with. We'd skin and gut them and boil them, then take the two breast pieces off and mother would make a blackbird pie just like she made chicken pot pies but using those blackbird breasts instead of chicken meat.
