Eeyore has built a new bird feeder that has been attracting a variety of birds we don't usually see at our feeders as well as our usual variety. I've been keeping an eye on it, and trying to find time to lurk inside the open window for a photo op. Yesterday, I glanced out and was thrilled to see this bird of a very different feather indeed, wandering about the yard.
A camera shy fellow, he hung about for awhile investigating various aspects of the old place before wandering off.
I've heard peacocks calling in the neighborhood and he wandered off in the same general direction as the sound seems to originate, so I hope he found his way back home. I don't know anything about peafowl, but his tail looks short to me, so I think he may be a young male.He was a colorful surprise on a quiet autumn day.
