Peacock strutting his stuff at the Albuquerque Zoo, New Mexico - USA


I took this picture of a Peacock in front of bushes and trees at the Albuquerque Zoo in New Mexico. I used my Nikon D7100 camera at F8, Sp 320 and ISO 640. I paid a fee to be able to sell the pictures I took at the Albuquerque Biological Park and Zoo for that day. This is an Indian Peacock. A female is called a Peahen and the male Peacock. His beautiful tail feathers are all spread out in a fan shape and you can see the feathered eyes for which he is famous. Brilliant blue body and crest of blue feathers along with the greens and blue of his tail make him a truly magnificent specimen.
