The Monastery Rooster by Daniel Arrhakis (2020)
"Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times. "
"Priusquam bis galtus vocem dederit ter me es negaturus. "

A large population of feral chickens inhabit Key West, Florida, reminders of the days when cock fighting was a sport on the island, and Ernest Hemingway spent hours in the local bars. Generations of released/escaped "Cubalaya" roosters have "cock-a-doodle-do-ed" their freedom and roamed free.
This handsome fellow is protected by law, but is not admired by all of the current residents of Key West. The chickens do provide local "color" and a link to the romantic past of Key West, but they are also noisy and messy. For now the Rhode Island Red hens/roosters still "rule the roost."
For 120 pictures in 2020 #22 "Chinese zodiac signs", a rooster is the trademark of this brand of sriracha sauce. Reinforcing the rooster theme is a pile of chicken thighs ready for the grill, also shown in back. I like this sauce's sweet hot flavor, and use it a lot on things like egg salad and chicken salad sandwiches.
This rooster was freely walking in the park. He was quite tame. I could come as near as 40 cm with my camera. I used a wide angle lens with my camera almost at ground level.
Practicing getting close to a subject with a wide angle lens. Goal: improve my street photography skills :-)
The breed is very likely a Bantam Cochin, a breed which originated in China.
Sometimes on our journeys, Anita and I spot some pretty fantastic birds. I believe this one may just be the very rare Red Winged Black Tail Rooster. Highly sought after, rarely found he is a big boy... compare his size to the metal fence posts behind him. We were lucky enough to find him near the road scratching through the waist high weeds on a tiny gravel road in the wilds of Virginia! LOL...

And thanks to Burnie Clifford for identifying this handsome chap as a Sussex :-)
This guy (along with several others) was on the patio where we ate a few times in Grand Cayman... If you weren't careful, he would jump up and take food right from your hand.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekent!
