This guy was roaming freely around the Concepcion Castle in
Cartagena Spain...
If you look at the ends of his tail feathers, you'll see that they look like
they were chopped off...
perhaps this is how a Peacock molts??
Anybody have any ideas about this???
(I'm a bit off track in posting our trip on
my Photographic Journey...
if you're interested...look for posts
starting in the New Year...)

He's so handsome!! LOVE those colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keri!!! A bit raggedy on the tail feathers...but the colors are magnificent!!! Didn't bump up the saturation even a tiny bit!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, molt I think. Love these guys, they're so flamboyant. I'd trade Altadena's parrots for Arcadia's peacocks.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd know Hiker!!!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures - I assume that they must have to moult at some time!
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks for linking to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
We have peacocks here. They are always fun to spot.
ReplyDeleteThose peacocks are showy but boy are they noisy too! Nice shots of this guy Chieftess!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stewart!!! I'm a little off track on my posting day, but I love your meme!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks NatureFootstep!!! I read the article and yep! Hiker's right!
Where are you that you have peacocks Margaret? Aren't you in So Pas???
I agree Larry! I think they're good watch birds...like geese!!!!
Molting makes sense, doesn't it? They do have them in South Pas. I've even heard of them in La Canada. They're all over the place!
