George Rice remembers different Wood Hen - not a woodpecker

Before river bottoms were flooded for Green River Lake, the birds inhabited the bottom land. He hunted them and remembers they were quite tasty

George Rice writes:
Woodhen v/s what ever. The bird pictured does not look anything like the woodhens we used to see when living in the Holmes Bend boat dock area. As a boy we used to have many of those so called woodhens in those river bottoms now covered with water.I remember them as being much larger and believe it or not those big birds are eatable. I used to kill them and Mother would cook them and they were quite tasty. --George Rice
