These Vulterine Guinea Fowls are always busy, though it is hard to say what they are doing.

Hi Ken,

They are busy and they look nice and sharp.  The blues have some nice pop against the browns in the surrounding areas..................Jim

Excellent, Ken. Awesome detail in the larger version. Not a photogenic setting but still a wonderful shot.

The Three Stooges! Wild looking colors, but I guess Guinea fowl are the same the world over. Busy, busy, busy. They do make good home alarms.sad

A sweet trio, Ken.  Excellent job getting all of them in crisp focus and a nice composition.
