On The Brink Of Death

After assuming the worst, a survivor has risen on the 3rd day.

This guinea finally came out of the windbreak after 8 inches of snow and -9F low.  She was vocalizing the common buckwheat sound that the females do.   I let the other guineas out of their shed, helping bring this one back into her home.

Thus these 2 white guineas have escaped death, until next time……

Attempted Suicide

This is another post about the white guineas that have been a part of my life since 2013.  The first part of the story can be found on http://www.fastgrowingtrees.us/KlecknerOasis/dumb-youth/ and http://www.fastgrowingtrees.us/KlecknerOasis/clipping-guinea-wings/

The second part of the story comes last summer when the white male wondered off, never to be seen again by me-http://www.fastgrowingtrees.us/KlecknerOasis/white-guineas-minus-one/ .

2 females lived on without much issue for the past few months.  Then a heavy snowstorm hit on Saturday and the two white guineas flew into the trees and would not come down and go in their shed.  Snow kept falling, by the next morning, the total snowfall had been 8 inches.   I imagined the guineas killed themselves, yet one was found in the front yard alive, a frozen icicle getting thawed out.

Now only one remains of the 3 stooges.

Time in the Woods

The weather has been great for the whole latter part of January, a good time to spend in nature.
