I have had numerous sightings of this beautiful Peacock on The Sea Ranch. Cheryle Harris photographed him through her window drinking out of her fountain.
Jan de Vries spotted him walking along his fence and then posing.
He is quite the beauty! We don't know where he came from, so we hope he finds his way home.
Thanks to Cheryle and Jan for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Carolyn André was delivering meals on wheels when she came around a turn and there was this beautiful Peacock.
Carolyn managed to stop her car in time and take this photograph. We don't know whose Peacock this is or if it is living on its own. There used to be a Parrot farm, I'm told, in the area and perhaps these were from that farm. The bird sure looks handsome.
Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
On a trip down Highway One this week Rick and I passed a blaze of color in a snag on the west side. "Was that a...Peacock?" I asked Rick, doubting my own eyes. He turned the car around and there it was, shining like an iridescent ornament in the fog. We were just north of Stillwater Cove County Park, which is in Sonoma County.
It turns out that Stillwater Cove Ranch is nearby and, yes, they have Peacocks. Apparently one of them caught the wandering bug - at least for a day. Every drive down the coast brings a bit of wonder.
