Vulturine Guineafowl

Category: Birds, camera-trap | Date: Jul 06 2008 | By: tumaren

It was nice to find these fellows in the camera trap this morning.  Vulturine Guinefowl are some of the areas most distinguished birds.  Fly Tyers love to get their hands on Vulturine skins. The blue, it turns out is rather irresistible to not only the camera but also certain atlantic salmon.  We often use the vulturine to find predators.  When you hear these birds mobbing something you will often times find a cat or mongoose or a snake sheltering from the uproar.

The French have a term which fits, “jolie laide”, they’re certainly distinctive (and from this slightly odd perspective, approximately six feet tall?) Nice.
