Peacocks

Look what we found in our backyard this morning...
5 PEACOCKS!
Actually some of them might be peahens, but we don't know how to tell the difference between a young male who doesn't have his fancy tail feathers yet and a female. They have been visiting our yard occasionally for the last week, but they have usually stayed towards the back of our yard in the trees where we can't see them very well. This morning they ventured down right next to our patio and I was able to take these pictures from my kitchen window. I don't have any idea where they came from or who they belong to but we are enjoying watching them when they visit our yard. This morning one of them even spread his tail feathers and strutted around showing off. They spent a couple of hours walking around eating bugs and then stretched out on the lawn in the sun. They seem to be enjoying the spring weather just like I am!
