I have always wanted to see a peacock expand his tail in full regalia. When I have seen peacocks in a zoo, they are always moving and shifting their heads in an unpredictable way. It is difficult to even get a head shot.
And then this peacock at the Dreher Park Zoo (in Palm Beach, Florida) blossomed right in front of me. He stopped me in my tracks. He modeled his plumage, clearly impressing a few chicks, human and fowl. He walked very slowly and then stopped, holding his stance and then ever so slowly turning to display all sides of his finery. He repeated this a few times. In the second shot here he is turning. His front and back sides are stunning, but I like showing a little of both.
He deserves our attention, doesn't he?
