I am away this week at a conference, and I didn't think I'd get a chance to post an entry for this week, but I couldn't resist... There is a peacock strolling around the grounds of the conference center where I am staying and he is delighting most (and irritating some) of us with his shrieks and calls - throughout the night! These are the best pictures I could get at this time. (I didn't know they roosted in trees!)I caught him through my window this morning...
I haven't seen him show off his tailfeathers yet, but I'll keep my camera ready - just in case.
UPDATE: I got him! He came back to the courtyard and fussed and ruffled and finally gave us all a peek at his full regalia! (Oh, I could have used that word today!)
He twirled and twirled for us...and then closed up his feathers and walked away.Find more ABC Wednesday posts here.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know they roosted in trees, either! An interesting choice for 'R'!
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week. :)
Rare shots! When my children were very young we camped near a place that had a brood? of peacocks. Drove my kiddies crazy because their cry sounds a lot like 'HELP' and the kids were sure we were remiss by not helping them...most nights were sleepless. Great post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird!
ReplyDeleteI did know they roosted in trees...I'm almost embarassed to say how I knew that.... OK, I'll tell - I know from watching "The Waltons". They have a pet peacock named Rover. LOL
