Peacock Watch Day 8

The other night, they slept high up in our neighbor's tree. They're really quite peaceful guys - they go up and roost right as the sun goes down, but were up and at it before the sun rose. One is definitely the leader, another is moderately docile, and the third is submissive. As I watched them climb this tree, flying from limb to limb, the leader and moderate got very high up, but the third was having some issues. After some time, the third settled in where he was, down a few branches. Later in the day, I saw them nesting down in some torn-down bamboo in my neighbor's hard. As beautiful and bright as their colors are...they certainly camouflaged into my neighbor's various backyard junk.

Here's a video of them on the breezeway between our house and the front house. The "beep" in the background is IsaacBird.



Tschüß!!
