In my November 29 post titled “A Peacock on the Deck”<\/a>, I shared with you my surprise (and a picture) of a female peafowl, properly called a peahen, standing on my deck and traveling with a rafter of turkeys.\u00a0 Since that day, I’ve not seen her among the turkeys making their daily trek to the feeder, making me wonder what happened.<\/p>\n

On December 19, while reviewing pictures taken from the motion detecting camera trap, the peahen appeared in two frames snapped on December 14 at 1:00 PM.\u00a0 She’s right-most bird in the pictures below, which you can click for a larger version.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if she continues her visits throughout the winter.\u00a0 And, of course, I still wonder where she came from.<\/p>\n
