Peacock

There are a bunch of free-roaming peacocks at the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport, CT. In my opinion, they're the best part of the zoo.

Craig:  This is a nice image of the peacock.  I do need to move this to the POP gallery as images of birds that are captive in a zoo are not permitted in the Avian Critique Gallery.  Here's an excerpt from the Posting Guidelines.
 
  • Avian Gallery - All images with birds as the main subject. Images of birds baited with seed, other non-live bait or recordings must be disclosed as such. Photos of captive birds taken at commercial game farms or photos taken using live bait are prohibited. Photos taken of captive birds at zoos and wildlife rehabilitation centers may be posted in the POP Gallery - please disclose the name of the facility where the photo was taken, as well as any other information that would be of value to those interested in wildlife conservation and education.

Keith, I am not as familiar as I should be with the rules of the avian gallery, so thanks for educating me!
