Looks like something did a poo on its head hehehe (sorry been reading the story "about the little mole that wants to know who pooped on its head" to Gies almost every eve... LOL) It does have great colors though... apart from the brown... haha

Great close-up!

[Harry J Benson]

good closeup, we have them around here. The ones here like to eat deer ticks which is a carrier of Lyme Disease.

Oh wow! The thumbnail in the photo feed doesn't do this shot justice - beautiful colors and you can almost feel the velvet of the feathers. Not a pretty bird by any means, but a fantastic picture. :)

Great detail! The pattern of the feathers is so neat! Good to have a redeeming quality with a head like that! Hahaha! I've never seen a guinea close up! I always heard they could be mean!

[Vicki Dixon]

He is sure a strange looking animal, but you have captured him so well. Lovely detail in its head. Very nice.
