And then there were 2 dozen...
For at least three years now, we've had a single lonely Guinea hen roaming the neighborhood searching for insects and such. He (or she) has survived the cold winters, alone, and the hot summers, alone. And we've always felt kinda sorry for the poor old thing. Today, the ugliest bird ever created, was proud as a beautiful peacock, as he (or she) showed 24 young Guinea hens "the ropes." The old bird walked them all around the perimeters of our home, looking in the windows and strolling across the driveway. Why do we like these birds so much? Because they eat BUGS! Including spiders, ticks, ants, and slugs. Better in the Guinea hens than on our dog and plants. Hooray for the Guinea hens - we're glad to have 'em!

OMGosh, I bet they're babies! I envy you such a truly interesting catch to share.
Hello sparrow's song! Thank you ever so much for taking your time to read my blog and leave all those thoughtful comments! You are a fellow-blogger's dream! It's a fact, you know, that we all love it when someone leaves a comment :o). And you always leave so many! I just want to tell you that I went to your blog and saw all your fantastic pictures and I loved, loved, loved the video and story of your bluebirds! That is the first time I have ever seen a real bluebird! I wanted to leave you a comment, but I lost all my log-in information. How can I get back on? XO to you! Oh, and by-the-way, I am very pleased that you are a Glenn Beck cheerleader!
I've sent you an email to your gmail.
I seem to have a lot to say to your postings. As you may know, I come and go with blogging as interests capture my attention and that would include my own.
These are eastern bluebirds that have set up house in our yard. I was telling my daughter about your hen/s. She was quite interested in them as well and had to see the photos.
oh oh she must have found a mate somewhere!! We also have many bluebirds and yellow finchs cardinels and several species of woodpeckers and of course our ever loving humming birds
