Peacock Plummage Photos

peacock plummagePeacock Mating Season Means Spring Is Here
by Larry Lagarde

Spring is in full swing here in New Orleans. After months of dormancy, the Easter Lillies began blooming and the Oaks and Pecan trees on our property sprouted fresh, bright green leaves. For us though, the real sign of Spring is the squawking of our peacocks.

No doubt, we'll find at least one peacock nest with several eggs (last year, we had 2 nests with new broods of peacocks hatching forth). It's quite a spectacle and lots of fun to watch.

Every time I approached him, the male peacock would spread his feathers and walk AWAY. All I'd see was the rear of the feathers (much less appealing than the front).

By the way, click any photo to enlarge it.
