all creatures great and small
The weather was too cloudy to give me the lighting conditions I needed for the shots I wanted to get in Brooklyn, so on this day off I chose to stay closer to home and went to the Staten Island Zoo instead. I've mentioned before that the peacocks here have the run of the place. What I've never seen prior to this was white ones. I found out they are very uncommon - but not to the point of being classified as rare. I asked one of the staff about them, and they said they were fairly new to the place. Not only that, they had only a couple to begin with, but they had chicks earlier this year, and now the have a whole bunch, which also enjoy hanging out, just like their blue and green cousins, here where we patrons all sit to eat our lunches outdoors. Being a cloudy rainy weekday, there was no paying customers around (except for myself!), so the place was filled with peacocks instead - lucky me.
