Domestic Guineafowl, South Street, Rockport, Maine, 18 September 2014.

Domestic Guineafowl.

As Jack and I were traveling along South Street, very near Beech Hill, we came upon a bunch of guineafowl. Not sure Jack noticed them, actually, but I sure did. Three or four adults, and more than a dozen little ones—including an albino. Wasn’t that a surprise.

On our actual Beech Hill hike later in the day, not many birds showed up. (Many more showed up elsewhere today, in fact.) However, I got a nice photo of an American Lady.

I have to say, though: what a lovely day.
