This week the #SMAP contest by @nelinoeva is looking for Birds in Grass. The first photo in this post is my entry for the contest.
The Peacock is one of the most beautiful birds and we're lucky enough to have a lot of them in a local park. Above I have a fine specimen to show you.
We normally see Peacocks on the ground. They are able to fly and I've seen them do it but I've rarely captured a photo of the event... I'm always caught off guard and miss the shot.
Their long tail feathers make flight difficult so Peacocks prefer to run around on the grass...
Above: Here's a look at Mrs Peahen and three peachicks. (Chickpeas?)
And one more shot of a Peacock spreading his feathers. Aren't they amazing?
While we're talking about birds in the grass, here are some other examples:
I see robins in the backyard all the time, feasting on worms. It's pretty cool to watch them pulling out one fat worm after another.
Finally, I have some photos of crows on the grass. I hope you like these photos. Thanks a lot for visiting!
