I also set up sprinklers throughout the plains exhibit (and almost gave my life to the lions). This was a taken from a point of view of the animal and keeper gates. It currently contains lesser kudu, a Thomson's gazelle, crowned cranes, ostriches, Ruppell's vulture, ruddy shelducks, pink-backed pelicans, impala, and the only species that's left to add are the vulturine guinefowl and a lappet-faced vulture.

The Kenya crested guineafowl are now the only animals yet to go on exhibit ;) Two lappet-faced vultures went on exhibit last week.

Well perfect! That means phase 4 is complete. Have you visited to see if the Guineafowl signage has been changed as I do know that it said 'Vulturine' and I did see them in quarantine over the summer.
 
I haven't been since December, so I cannot say what the signage says now... It just says crested on their website still, so that's what I went with, haha! I just happened to see photos of the vultures on Flickr, so that's the only way I knew about them. I will, however, be making a visit next week, so I will make sure to look and see what it says.
