i just wanted to share a little more about the peacocks.  i enjoyed watching them for a while...but no, they never opened up those beautiful tails, and i gave them ample opportunity!  :)  i didn't realize they were competing at first as they were often walking side by side.

and they did a bit of circling in opposite directions.

i had watched them for several minutes before i realized they weren't friendly towards one another.  and no...neither of them were hurt.  the attack only lasted a split second , and i don't think that either of them actually touched the other.  and no...there were no hens around...so i'm not sure why they were fighting.  but they sure are beautiful.  i wish i had been as lucky as marie to catch them displaying all of their glory.

  Oh these birds are so beautiful.  Peacocks.  Just the word calls up the picture. And you have taken some wonderful photos of them.  Gerry

  I found these to be so beautiful, even without the show off strut....
  I love the bottom shot.  I got quite a few that weren't with the feathers open & I think they are just a beautiful, like yours!  Love the peacocks with or without the open feathers.  They are just stunning birds~
