Observation details
see photos; probably same birds as seen on 3 May and reported on checklist # S172510125, birds were at the edge of a field and a turn-off that ended in a parking area that requires a Washington State Park parking permit, there is a farm/ranch on the other side of the turn-off that may be where the birds came from; based on our research, Guineafowl do well as free-range birds and don't require a permanent source of feed or housing so the birds might well be found outside a pen or fenced enclosure
