On a cloudy day in April, the peacocks were out in full force, displaying for the peahens who have been so elusive this year. Most of the peacocks have had their territories (or leks) where they display for years, and they're not going to give up hope that the peahens will wander by. Filmed at the L.A. Arboretum in April 2024.

The other day I was watching some peahens and they were going round and round in a circle, about ten times! I just caught the end of it. I've never seen anything like it! Silly girls! I hope this puts a smile on your face! Filmed at the L.A. Arboretum in April 2024.
