monsoon perks
The Monsoon is a joyous time, a rejuvenating force, refreshing rivers, enabling biodiversity. It is also the time when many birds procreate.
The male peafowl, when courting peahens, display their trains and rattle their bodies so the feathers catch the sunlight and appear to shimmer. The vibrancy of the peacock's colors, the length of their trains and the overall quality of their feathers make for a successful mating.
I did not have a camera with me, so I recorded this on the cell phone. The bird was about 6 feet away, totally ignoring us, and I think I'll never have such an oppurtunity again.
Please have the audio on when you play this clip.
