The third of my postings about the peafowl of Cape Canaveral…..we had our most intimate interactions on a Oak Lane, a small unpaved road off a Circle K (roadside convenience store). At one point a peacock approached Pam on the open windowed passenger side and almost pecked her.
The iridescent coloration is an illusion created by the structure of fine feather elements, called barbules. The impression on peahens varies with viewing angle, between 90 (head on) and 45 degrees to either side. The peacock will shiver his train when faced with a favored peahen.

The nearest thing to peafowl we have in “upstate” New York is the Canadian Goose, a bird with its own charms descending in large numbers to make a mess. For tourists, coming upon mating peacocks is like a walking dream.
