On my way to an astronomy event last night, I noticed a peacock crossing the road in the wooded park so I stopped and stalked the bird, who eventually flew over a chain-link fence and disappeared. Then I looked behind me and to my amazement, saw this magnificent creature fully fanned out, posing as if waiting for his perfect photo op. I gladly obliged. He turned around in circles several times, showing his tail feathers, which are not nearly as colorful. I'm going to post another shot of the same bird so you can let me know which you like best.
Beautiful plumage! I visited a friend recently who had peacocks on his farm. They seemed to be very timid and camera shy, so well done for getting this one!
