Penelope is really a regal looking bird!
Penelope, the pea hen |
I don't know what happened today, but she was in a very energetic mood. I was in the side yard filling the dog's water bucket when I heard a strange noise and looked up just in time to see Penelope flying like mad, darting in and out of live oak branches and making all sorts of sounds I've never heard her make before. She flew right past me about 15 feet in the air and landed on the roof our house.
Up on the roof |
She strutted up to the very top of the roof. What was she up to?
A nice vantage point |
Once she got to the top, she gracefully walked to the top and took her station there, erect and purposeful.
A living weather vane |
The best I can figure is that Penelope is auditioning to be the weather vane on our house just like the rooster weather vane on our barn. Although I like her up there on the roof because she is quite stunning to look at, I'm not convinced that she's a functioning weather vane. The jury is still out on that.
