Also frequent escapees (or very free ranging domestics) are guinea fowl and to a lesser extent a number of other gamebirds up to and including peacocks. Of course the ideal home for the Guam Rail would be an island or group of islands that are capable of supporting a flightless rail and which don’t have brown tree snakes.

And most recently, Organix (free-range chicken plus some organic ingredients). But they gobble up their Natural Balance, and of course any fruit I give them during the day.

This would be a night drive, cold, dark, uncomfortable seats, loud engine in the giant 26-seater truck, scanning the brush and the roadside with three or four strong spotlights wrangled by volunteers among the nature-loving tourists, and of course, the headlights of the truck.
