Probably not.<\/p>\n<p>Since she didn&#8217;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&#8217;s travel trailer just across the fence from the back part of the yard. <\/p>\n<p>It was a beautiful bird, one of the prettiest I&#8217;ve seen, although it&#8217;s tail feathers were kind of mucked up like something &#8216;almost&#8217; caught it one time. And it moved quite quickly too. It just wouldn&#8217;t pose for me, as I tried to get a picture. <\/p>\n<p>Click on the image to see the larger version.<\/p>\n<p>Update: BB took a picture of the peacock later in the day:<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/peacock-bb.jpg' alt='peacock-bb.jpg' class='centered' \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My sister, Carol, heard what she described as an animal sound coming from behind the garage the other day.
