Wondering why the picture of Peacocks?  

They are wild and were here long before we came.  They believe they own everything and will even mosy across the road in total disregard of traffic (locals just stop and wait for them to cross).   The kids in particular love seeing them.  Viewing is usually best just before Sunday Bible Study.   

We have been told that the early miners who panned for gold in the ravines brought peacocks with them because they will kill rattle snakes.  Hence we have no problems with rattle snakes.
