Mr Pea and the Ladies

 Here's Mr. Pea showing off to the ladies, trying to win their favor.  In March, this is a daily occurrence...   and he looks his best.  The display is perfect, the dance is elegant, the feathers are unbelievably blue and green and hopefully the ladies are impressed.

And the daytime racon, stealing black oil sunflower seed treats behind Mr. Pea's back :D

Peacocks Displaying

It's January 14th, and we are in full male displaying time of the year.  By about January 10th, the males had their massive feather trains in place.  In late December, they were long but not 100%.  Now, OMG, they fill the whole area when they display.  The males are still getting along together - later, territorial behavior will have them arguing and chasing each other.

So for the record, January 10th begins official male peacock display time.
