There is a story that goes along with this bird, and I have my daughter
to thank for it. She was off quietly admiring a sculpture in an enclosed
part of the botanical garden when this peacock spotted her from 10
feet above and decided to leap down and say hello. She was still, the
bird between me and her, it walked around her and then suddenly
opened it's feathers. We were very still and very quiet, she inched back
towards me and said that for her first time seeing a peacock it was a
little scary but very "boofufal" (that's beautiful, she's 5 and often has
a stuffed up nose). Lugging the camera around isn't always fun, but
moments like this make it seem worth it.
