Peacock Sighting at Mom and Dad’s House

moms-peacock.jpgMy sister, Carol, heard what she described as an animal sound coming from behind the garage the other day. I asked what it sounded like – she imitated what I thought sounded like an elephant. She also said that she could hear something in a tree out there. Elephants in trees? Probably not.

Since she didn’t want to go out there, I decided to venture out to see what this mystery beast was all about. Imagine my surprise when I saw this peacock strutting across the top of one of the neighbor’s travel trailer just across the fence from the back part of the yard.

It was a beautiful bird, one of the prettiest I’ve seen, although it’s tail feathers were kind of mucked up like something ‘almost’ caught it one time. And it moved quite quickly too. It just wouldn’t pose for me, as I tried to get a picture.

Update: BB took a picture of the peacock later in the day:
