MFP Guinea Fowl Spotlight Photo

A guineahen trots across a Mankato yard Wednesday. Commonly found in Africa, it’s unclear how these four birds ended up in the Tourtellotte neighborhood. It is entirely possible a frustrated gardener introduced the birds in an effort to control an insect pest problems in his or her yard, flower or vegetable garden? Having a few Guinea fowl graze your property is one way to get rid of those pesky insect pests. Photo by Darren Gibbins
