Yes, it's a guinea fowl, we used to have about 60 of them.

I saw this picture on the Montanica Facebook page a few days ago.

Thank you all for your advice. Will look at monopods. I love looking at everyone's photos!

I'm new to the group, so far have just been observing, trying to learn. In the last few years, I'm having more trouble steadying the camera. I hate to carry a tripod, especially for trips. Is a monopod worth trying for the time being?

I use irfanview for my photos. It's a very small download that can re-size and edit your photos. Just right click and set as desktop wallpaper, or open photo and size as you like.
