This has been my year to see the strutting peacocks at the San Diego Zoo. I've been going at least once a year since I was about 12, but I had never seen the peacocks in full display. This year I've been to the Zoo three times, and all three times I've been privileged to see peacocks putting on a show.
Last week was just supposed to be a quick one-hour trip to the Zoo to see the new Elephant Odyssey that opened at a cost of $45 million. What recession?
Elephant Odyssey covers almost eight acres and has more than just elephants, which will be for future posts. The peacocks, though, tend to hang around the front entrance since that's where most of the people are, and, of course, people means food.
Following are six pictures of the same peacock, which started off up on top of the building before flying down to put on a show for us.
