Wow, it has been 70 days since I last posted here on this thread. The reason is that there has been nothing significant to report. The Guineas have mostly disappeared from the neighbourhood except for a single pair who visit me every other day or so.

Photograph taken this morning of the only regular visiting Guineas of the past two months.

What concerns me is that the female of this pair is the same female who use to keep Hop-a-long company. I recognize her by her very distinct helmet (crown) which is in the shape of a comma sign. I have not seen Hop-a-long anywhere in the neighbourhood; and I am hoping that he somehow got separated from her and that he is somewhere out in the farmlands with the other Guinea Fowl. The alternative is sad for me to think of, but is most likely the reality. However, I remain ever hopeful that I will see him again.

Photograph taken at the end of September of a lone male Guinea fighting with his own reflection in the glass sliding door.

The same lone male Guinea dashing off after his reflection fight and then running circles in the driveway with his wings slightly lifted. He also gave the bumper of the car, seen in the photograph, a fierce peck or two... or three. Silly boy.
